     Someone had originally actually left some food on this table and I ate the food.
     
     Thanks whoever left free food! I hope it's not poison.

     @fence@xyzzy.link Hahaha no. I put that on there as a joke. It's a Core2Duo.

     @jschwart@mas.to @fence@xyzzy.link performance is totally acceptable for browsing the internet, chatting and programming. Just don't do anything graphically on it.
     
     Installing updates is a meaningless measurement. I run GNU Guix and updates can take anywhere from 1 to 15 minutes depending on how many packages need to updated and his fast the internet connection is.

     @SuperDicq @fence it's an X200 I guess? How's the performance? How long does it typically take to install updates?

     @mangeurdenuage@shitposter.world @fence@xyzzy.link Actually not necessarily true. Some software has added bloat over time yes, but also many optimisations have been made on the meantime.
     
     I mean I am running XFCE which hasn't had any new features added in like the past 10 years.

     @SuperDicq @fence Surprisingly if you want to go faster you just have to install 2007 distros.

     @mangeurdenuage@shitposter.world @fence@xyzzy.link RAM is not a concern. I have 8GB

     @SuperDicq @fence I need to do a ram comparison from that time to today's DEs
     As far as I remember XFCE does use around 600MB of ram which is a lot imo <- uses MATE witch is around 900MB.

     @jschwart@mas.to @fence@xyzzy.link Did you by chance install the "stable" version of GNU Guix?

     @SuperDicq @fence alright, 15 minutes seems quite ok. At some point I was playing with Guix and somehow it was takes hours as it needed to build all sorts of stuff.

     I might try it again at some point. Thanks!! :)

     @jschwart@mas.to @fence@xyzzy.link There is no "stable" version of GNU Guix. It's a rolling release distro.
     
     The stable ISO available on the website is just a super outdated version (like actual years behind) and that's why it takes over an hour to update it.
     
     I have told multiple people that they should stop offering the stable ISO on the website and just give people the latest version instead. But I believe this unfortunate newbie trap is still there.

     @SuperDicq @fence that could be, I don't remember to be honest.

     What would your advice if I try it again? I'm now running Triskel. I was also thinking that possibly I don't really need disk encryption and avoiding that might make things faster too.
