Hello ppl, I'd need some advice regarding best Linux distro for an aging Lenovo Thinkpad X270 which has a dual core i7, an NVMe SSD and 16GB RAM. Windows 10 is usable on it but it's sluggish and even if not, I wanna put Linux on it. Linux Mint seems nice, as I don't care about the eye-candy...

It seems the cpu is holding back the system.

CPU thermal wise is fine, fans almost always quiet, never felt other than moderate warmth at max. SSD out of 4TB has somewhere around 700 GB free space in two partitions.

Hello, I have a mediocre HP laptop with Ryzen 3500u with 2x8 GB RAM (DDR4 3200), and NVME SSD (should be really fast according to the specs) using W10. Since the GPU uses 2 GB, effectively 14 GB RAM. Lately with the heavier use (not gaming, rendering etc., just office work with many apps opened...

Just reread the posts. If I find some solution/explanation, I will post it here.

What is important is the time change, maybe I exagerrated but it doesn't matter whether is 3-4 or 10-15 secs, what is important that after disabling Bitlocker I now wait like a 40-50 secs or more and that is the issue I'm trying to solve and to figure out what happened. The issue is not whether...

There couldn't been any changes in configuration because the laptop was laying unused. Today I opened it up and disabled the Bitlocker. After that boot time went like x10. After some research, it seems that it is some issue or timing interval within the boot sector of the drive. There is some...

No.

Hello, My HP-15 laptop with Win10 booted quick and fine until I today decrypted my ssd (want to clone it to bigger ssd). After I disabled Bitlocker, every boot up time is like at least 30 secs instead of 3-4. Nothing else changed. I tried turning off fast boot and cleaning some rest files with...

During the installation, there is no mentioning nor selection of Home/Pro version. It goes without asking and every time it installs Home. Pro has BItlocker, that is the only reason for it.

Hello, Windows 10 Home came preinstalled on my Lenovo Thinkpad X270. I want to do a clean install, and to that matter I prepared a USB stick created using Media Creation Tool on system with Windows 10 Pro. Did a install, erased all previous installations and partitions and afterwards again got...

Good suggestions. I already used DDU and cleared previous drivers and then installed latest drivers. The BIOS is already at the latest version, do you still think it is justified to reflash it with the latest one? The thing that I'll try out today is to use some USB Linux to see if that makes...

Hello, I recently obtained a refurbished HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF, no dedicated gpu. Inside is i7-4770 with IntelHD 4600 integrated GPU. It has 2 DPs and one VGA port. Now I have 2 screens that I connect via DP (Full HD resolution both, 60 Hz refresh rate). I can't manage to set up the second...

There is one editor that seems that can do the job. It has some glitches regarding displaying its interface but it is usable. It is the best online editor with Photoshop-alike seat of features. Works on the tablet too :giggle: www.photopea.com

Regarding PDF manipulation I have found out that Xodo Premium has the most competent set of features (but there are others too). However, there is no PDF editor that can change underlying content (especially if not previously OCRed), so sometimes I have to convert PDFs to images, to edit them...
