I am reffering to both minimum hardware requirements and comparing the desktops
on the same hardware.
Linux in general will use as much RAM as is available up to the point where
performance is optimal, and then use swap space.
This is a good thing of course as RAM is much faster than reading

It's not an empty window exactly, it's where you start typing to find
applications and files to work with. It's supposed to say something like
"activities overview. Type to search text" but there's been a bug for
years that hasn't been fixed. There's also a dash on the left side
gotten to by

One thing I've noticed about mate, and probably other desktops as well,
is that they seem to have some kind of algorithm for measuring how much
ram a system has and adjusting how they use ram accordingly. On my
system, which has 8 gb of it, mate isn't all that resource efficient in
the ram
Can thunderbird be controlled to the point where a limit on the number
of messages downloaded can be imposed? If so, that might help its
function. I have over 53,000 messages in my gmail account now so for
sure unless I can limit amount of messages downloaded each time
thunderbird will not
I dug out an ubuntu 12 stick, and installed it to my hard drive.
I know it is old, but I will use it to burn a ubuntu mate disk.
But in the mean time, is there a way to back up my whole system, so that if I
like, I could install it, without having to reconfigure everything?

I had to do that with a mate install and it worked. I also found once a
system is installed when orca stops talking hitting alt-f2 then typing
orca --replace also works. Lots better than a three-finger
salute.

The main problem with Thunderbird is that it seems to freeze when your
~/.thunderbird directory gets too large. The best way to resolve this
issue is to uncheck "store messages on this computer" from your account
settings for each account. Hope this helps.

Well, today I think the desktops use available cpu wisely for the most part, nd
for years boot stuff runs in parallel by default when posible.
Of course there is still a lot of software that does not take advantage of
multiple cores, and I am pretty sure that most does not take advantage of
I think it's OK to encourage people to use good posting practices, but
in general, I leave this up to the moderators of the various lists I'm
on. I definitely don't say anything though unless it's chronic or I
don't think the person is aware of what they're doing. Too much list
traffic on
Of course, explaining the benefits of good subject lines, etc is most of the
message, and no, you can not repeat this daily either.
I don't like much list moderation, but do sometimes think when someone signs on
to a list they should have to answer a couple or three questions
correctly

I think the thunderbird problems are thunderbird bugs. At least, if
you're talking about the ridiculous lag when typing messages, that's a
thunderbird thing from what I've been able to find out. There's also a
lag when going through the list of messages if you have over a certain
amount, not
11 matches
