Old Netbook using Win10 vs Ubuntu
So, I have this old netbook that my mom used to use... but found it too small. It used Win7 Starter, has an Atom processor and 2gb ram. (Toshiba NB505)
For the heck of it, I upgraded it to Win10. But I'm finding that, just like Win7 starter, it is a bit slow. (I know, that's what you get in this old netbooks).
I'm just wondering if anyone has experience comparing Win10 with Ubuntu in terms of how smooth the OS runs. It is not my main computer. And I'd be fine using it just to take with me when I don't need anything more powerful. I run pretty much... nothing on it other than web browser for email and maybe some web based doc writing (like google docs).
Would switching that little thing to Ubuntu be likely to provide a smoother experience? Or is it just to weak to be smooth at anything?
