I was wiping this old laptop to sell or give it away. Couldn’t resist putting Fedora Silverblue on it to try it out. It’s very slow but I was able to check my e-mails in the browser, big win.

    Consider xfce

    I recently switched an old dell latitude from kde to xfce and it’s noticeably quicker

    Edit: kde recognized the dual nvidia card and xfce doesn’t but I’m 99% it’s fixable I just don’t have the time or need rn

      Yeah I usually ran XFCE on my old laptops. But this one was wiped immediately after this. Just wanted to see full fat Fedora in action, with all the modern stuff like Wayland.

        Nice, yeah I was hoping wayland kde would just work because it is quite efficient now but nope…I mean I guess it’s usable if you don’t mind the constant waits lol

      I put xfce on an old dell optiplex I liberated from the throwaway pile at work. I use it to watch videos on my TV.
