    yeah I just realised that fact, currently I use chromium and it is quite fast on my system so I don’t think there will be issues there. aside from that, how fast are windows programs compared to ordinary windows?

      blocking the stuff you dont want (ads and tracking ) with dns blocklists and adblocker can help a bit. linux has also the option to compress the contents of the ram with Zram. i have not used it myself yet.

      Thats a very broad question. My general thought is don’t install Linux to use Windows software. It’s gotten pretty good, to nearly same performance, but I wouldn’t count on it.

        I appreciate the help, I was asking as my school laptop runs horrendously slow on windows, but when I utilise a Linux live environment, it’s suddenly bearable.
