LXLE System Requirements
LXLE is designed to have an very low system footprint. In other words it doesn't take a lot of hardware resources to run well. Those saved resources are then spent on full featured capable programs to provide a complete desktop experience even on aging hardware, roughly any computer produced in the past ten years.
Todays' internet demands a great deal of resources to be an adequate online experience. Particularly video and social network sites. Because of this, although LXLE could run on lower specs, it's usefulness online would be negligible.
Absolute Minimum Requirement for an 'OK' online experience.
Pentium 3 processor with at least 512 mb of ram.
Recommended system requirements for an 'adequate' experience.
Pentium 4 processor with 1gb or more of ram.
