Linux could revitalize this laptop's performance.
I received my fiancé's old student laptop from a year ago or more, and I thought about using it as a dedicated upload system once I finish editing content. However, I spotted something concerning—currently it’s running at full CPU capacity, and I’ve attached a screenshot. I’m wondering if this 1.6GHz Celeron system can be preserved in Linux so I can still utilize it.
Linux might be a solution. The fact that Windows 10 is being updated likely accounts for the increased CPU usage, which severely affects my laptop's A8 4555M until the patches are applied.
Linux options vary based on the distribution you choose. You'll find many choices, but Lite Linux and Lubuntu (based on Ubuntu) offer a balance of simplicity and usability. For those seeking a more hands-on experience, Puppy Linux might interest you, though each has its own learning curve.
its not updating I just checked. I also set it to high performance mode but its still capping max cpu. although slightly less delayed
