My experience with live DVDs is that they're a poor indicator.  I've had
Live discs that simply cannot be made to run, are as slow as molasses
that you'd consider the PC too slow to run Linux (*), or discs that run
but a normal install cannot be made to.  So I always use them with large
dose of skepticism.

* That slowness isn't just down to disc drive speed, but the graphics
seem painfully slow, and even applications that you've given time to
fully load up.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
