Will my laptop handle Manjaro KDE?

Will my laptop handle Manjaro KDE?

Intel Celeron N2830 @ 2,16 GHz
4 GB RAM DDR3

Easily.

I find that hard to believe.

Yes. Disable some effects if it's not butter smooth for some reason.

KDE being laggy is just a meme

Even on my Intel Celeron? I kind of doubt it.

is manjaro easy to install and does it break easily after updates? Is there a tool available for manjaro for switching between gpus?

It's easy to install and it doesn't break as often as Arch. It's reasonably stable.

yeah prob but without all the effects and animations

Is there a way to easily switch between gpus? Like a gui option?

Why you want KDE? Go with i3 for stellar performance.

I have an Intel Celeron and it runs perfectly smooth. Gnome and Cinnamon run like shit though.

4gb is fine for KDE.
Most things related to KDE resources is on the graphics cards anyway, so you can probably run it without any problems.

Yeah...I know about Gnome. Awful performance.

Well, not really since the graphics card is CPU integrated (Intel HD Graphics).
It's bad isn't it?

Not really.
It is just the animations, you can turn stuff on / off if it becomes too slow.
I run old computers too, KDE is not a limitation.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Guess that makes more sense than to trust strangers.
For me, the ram usage is the most important, my desktop have 4G and I can still run 2 browsers or a browser and a game. If I use more than 4G, I fix the memory leak.

Memory leak?

Yea, memory leaks are usually why applications use too much memory.

>Celeron
Big no

yeah it would. i could get it to run on a shit tier early gen pentium laptop with 2 gigs of ram.
