MX isn't lightweight. Would you all like to see a bare-metal, real-life example? MX 19.4 on this Single core (Pentium M) 32bit HP from the end of 2005 with DDR2 ram (2048MB at its max). Just look at the conky , all parts.

That's a Passmark score 2341. I've run MX 18 on an old Passmark 1000 laptop. I'm currently running 19.4 on a Passmark 2000 as a torrent-serving machine. I feel it's a little slow (but ...

In search of a distro for my main workstation which I plan to migrate from Windows 7 to Linux (bye, bye, M$),

Is there some manual in this forum to update Bios?

I do not like to update Bios, I think I can brick PC.


I agree, I don't chase bios updates trying to stay current for no reason. That would be unnecessary risk. / But, if I were having a problem like yours, I'd do it. You're two versions behind. The "fixes" info doesn't mention your problem ...
