   @realcaseyrollins I ain't reading it, probably not technical enough to be useful, is my guess
   
   But I've seen that anything with a CPU with a passmark score of around 3000 and less will definitively struggle nowadays. Can barely do webcam conferencing software without the rest of the computer shitting itself
   
   Oddly enough however, I still have a CPU with a score of 7000 and a 1060 and that still allows me to play a bunch of modern games
   
   Software non-optimization and overall browser bloat is the real issue
   
   I'd say "around 3000 passmark score" is definitively the obsolescence mark for average every day usage

     @coolboymew @realcaseyrollins low spec cpu isn't all that bad, as long as it has place not to swap constantly, but with 4gb on windows 10 and past, it's gonna struggle like you say

     @i @realcaseyrollins yeah exactly. There's been things around saying that Win 10 performs better than 7 but it's not true at all
     
     Of course, I said "average usage", someone with the right Linux lightweight distro and maybe even a lightweight browser would do just fine with it. Hell, with the CCCP MPC pack, I was able to watch 1080p BD files that's over 16GB and it would even be fine with some fancy typesetting on those anime, all that on a dual core that I stretched for too long
     
     But yeah, At score 3000 and below, you'll start having a bad time

     @coolboymew @i @realcaseyrollins I have an old win10 laptop that eventually started performing very poorly. It was thrashing constantly. I reinstalled windows and that helped a little, but performance was still bad.
     
     I just upgraded the memory and hard drive (to ssd) and installed Linux. I know it's an unfair comparison because I upgraded the hardware, but Linux is running great.

     @Rocket @i @realcaseyrollins yeah Windows definitively still shits itself, just like it did in the old days
     
     No SSD is also unusable nowadays. Win10 will constantly 100% your hard drive. It might be fine-ish with Linux because I believe it's all loaded to RAM now?

     @Rocket @coolboymew @realcaseyrollins the real bummer is all the constant scanning microsoft defender does, literally kills drives for a bit of security theater
     it's bad enough that firefox was constantly shitting itself for 5 years with it

     wasting a whole coal power plant of power on scanning temporary files

     @coolboymew @i @realcaseyrollins Maybe, but moot point because I upgraded to ssd anyway. The laptop ran win10 fine for years. I really think win10 updates killed it. In the old days I would have just locked it on an old version, but you can't do that anymore for security reasons.

     @VBurner @i @Rocket @realcaseyrollins If you buy different brands with slightly different disk space, it becomes harder to screw up the install that way =P

     @coolboymew @i @Rocket @realcaseyrollins I had 2 2tb HDDs and a 2tb nvme drive. Installed Windows on both HDDs before I got to my SSD.
