I'm running:
Athlon II X2 250 3Ghz
4 GB RAM
and Windows 10 and all I do is browse the internet with FFox and watch a lot of videos.
Lately, W10 has become so slow at times as to be borderline unusable. The HDD just goes nuts and start working and working and everything is terribly slow.
Would I possibly get smooth performance if I transferred to some version of Linux, possibly one of the lightweight distros? Would there be a significant enough difference in terms of how much resources each OS consumes that it might make a significant performance difference?
