Linux Mint works quite well on my system of similar specifications.

That's the idea. I may be giving this thing away, and I wanted it to have a Good fast running OS. Windows works well, until you install tons of programs and take up 70% of the Disk space.

Mint works very well on my older machine, and the specs are quite inferior.
Dr.Hacknik
Well, my laptop isn't that bad in terms of specs. I may install Ubuntu instead, either way it's gonna be Linux.

Mint is Ubuntu-based.
VinsCool
Mint is better than Ubuntu actually lol
They removed all the bloat

Still, I'd prefer Ubuntu or Kubuntu. Because of Unity and KDE.
EDIT:
Nvm; I'll install Mint x3

service network-manager always gives me beef when I use Mint. If you can get Mint+Cinnamon working w/o that issue, go for it.

@Ricken What sort of beef?
Ricken
It'd just stop taking WiFi signal, so I'd have to run in terminal 'service network-manager restart'. And if that didn't work I'd have to reboot the system
Dr.Hacknik
Sounds like a Driver issue. I've never had any issues like that across three laptops.
Ricken
Probably is.. It only happens to me on Mint though, nothing else. It bugs me, but I'm content with Debian or Ubuntu Mate. (Or Antergos if I'm bored and want to regret not knowing how to convert deb to whatever Arch's install files are)
Dr.Hacknik
Try using Elementary OS or Kubuntu; it might not give you beef about it. ...... Installing: http://i.imgur.com/vaKKwRX.jpg

There's a bash script that Joe Collins wrote called refresh-net that does that. https://youtu.be/2dpUPqMMDLE

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

SylverReZ:
They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
