If we're being honest, a typical 2005-era laptop is going to yield a
rather lousy experience with any modern Linux Desktop.  (And an even
lousier experience with modern Windows!)




The question is - why - certainly not because CPU got less powerfull that it's been 10-12 years back - but when gnome clock needs 30MB, and rendering of html pages often takes over 100MB - and nobody cares about any performance regression since new shiny i7 is so fast to 'mask' all programmers faults and 32GB or RAM also needs some usage....
