Don't know what the original poster uses. But I don't use Fedora. I use Debian. The desktop I was using was gnome. When it got a new major release, I tried KDE briefly, then found refuge with xcfe. Someone suggested windowmaker recently, but I haven't tried it yet. But if the problem is with the DE or win mgr, I haven't tried much in the way of video sence my old gnome days (about a month ago) I'll give it another go when I find the time. -- hendrik > > > On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 6:01 PM, Hendrik Boom <[email protected]>wrote: > > > On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 02:46:56PM -0800, Nelson Asinowski wrote: > > > Hi > > > > > > > > > > > > I am looking at other peoples experience with Linux on laptops. > > > I am looking for practical minimum specs for reasonable performance. > > > > I'm using an ASUS 1000HE with Debian.
