Should I be surprised?

Not sure if it's happiness per-se, but I'm excited about joining uni next week.

I would be more than happy to try Linux, but until now I just thought I shouldn't before I try it on a secondary machine, something that I don't have at the moment.

But right now, it seems that I am just missing out. Would try Linux Mint this week if possible!

I already use uBO and it's terrific! But yes, I don't think much can be done because my old CPU is the main issue here and it can't be replaced sadly.

Hmm, you reckon? I do have another RAM slot empty (8GB (currently in use) + 8 GB (empty right now)).

Seems like I should add more RAM to my laptop for now.

I do have an SSD, and it's a huge improvement from an HDD no doubt!

replace ur cpu thermal paste to avoid thermal throtltling and make sure it makes good contact with heat sink+clean fan with brush

This I'd do! Thanks!

Firefox has been improving drastically in terms of performance with every release. It's pretty evident in recent months, which is very heartwarming to be honest.

I, however, do to some bad circumstances, have been stuck with a not-so-good laptop (8 GB RAM, a 6th gen processor in AMD A8 7410) and Firefox doesn't run that well on it. This is something that I've observed with Firefox- if you have a decent machine then it will run amazingly fast. However, on lower-end machines, performance can be a struggle AT TIMES.

Any tips on making this browser run at it's best potential on a weak system are appreciated!

I don't see any downside to these updates though, to be very honest.

It still isn't THAT fast on my okayish laptop, but on my friend's beast of a PC (I made him switch to Firefox last year lol), this browser runs amazing. It gives chromium browser a run for their money, really. So I guess it all depends on hardware.

God I wish I had a good system and not just a laptop with a 6th generation processor :( Because Firefox since v113 has been improving drastically.
