[QUOTE="TeamScriptKiddies, post: 5398874, member: 347622"] Sorry for being snappy, I don't know what got into me to be honest. Realistically when using Windows 8/8.1 yes those particular OS's are super bloated. That's why I refuse to "upgrade" (more like downgrade). I dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu on my desktop and my laptop. Both are several years old and they run beautifully. Desktop only has a dual core pentium and 4gb of ram, i'm not really a pc gamer obviously, given my specs. The only pc game I ever play is WOW which you can run on any windows machine made in the past 10 years XD. Laptop is a tri-core AMD (can't remember which processor off hand) 4gb of ram also. Runs great for what I'm doing. I also have a chromebox (not my primary pc of course) but its lightning fast despite the fact that it also has a dual core pentium and only 2gb of ram. With how lightweight ChromeOS is and the fact that it runs off an SSD makes up for the minimal specs. The only slow down I notice is a result of adding Ubuntu to it (through the developer's backdoor) using crouton. The way I have it set up, essentially ChromeOS and Ubuntu pretty much run side by side. The linux kernel that Chrome is based off of is used for both ChromeOS and Ubuntu at the same time and you can switch between interfaces/software compatibility. This is where the computer bottlenecks. I need to set it up as dual boot instead of how I have it set up now and performance should be comparable to what I had before (at least under ChromeOS, it should be identical to before I added Ubuntu). I'm a huge fan of linux and lightweight OS's in general. Throw a lightweight linux distro on a 10 year old XP machine and it will run like nobody's business. But try to upgrade to a later version of windows and fuggedaboutit. Only reason I keep windows is because I'm forced to in order to run certain software. I could set up a VM but I prefer to dual boot as my hardware is older and for a VM I would need to allocate a good chunk of my resources to the VM which would inhibit performance both inside and outside the VM.
