Will ubuntu will run super smooth in Intel I3 Skylake with 4 GB of RAM?

[Thor159]

I am planning to buy a laptop specially for ubuntu so will ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS runs super smooth fluid like on an Intel i3 skylake with 4 GB of RAM and 200GB HDD not SSD (Planning for cheap laptop. SSDs are expensive).

I know the minimum system requirements:--

2 GHz dual core processors
2 GB RAM
25 GB HDD space

And a PC that can run windows 7, 8 or 10 can run ubuntu.

I heard that Unity is slighty buggy. But I like the interface.


I just want to know that will it run ultra smooth?

Ubuntu will run well on that hardware.

And what about pentium processors?

How Ubuntu will run on skylake pentium processors?

It will run just fine. However if you mean with smooth that you suddenly have an amazing powerful pc then no.

It'll run ok, but if you want something faster go for Mint XFCE.

Currently running Maya (13) on a laptop with 512MB memory, and Sarah (18) with 2GB DDR2

No I just want that my laptop doesn't lag or hang up when multitasking and opening 10+ tabs in firefox. I will be using it for light photo and video editing and some documents work.

Will it fulfill my requirements lag free?

Even on windows it will do this without a problem. Just get the i3 as that will be much better than the pentium for the photo and video editing.
