Aren't you using Fedora?
Yes, but not on the PC that I do most of my email on. That one uses CentOS, and I'm trying Linux Mint on the laptop at the moment. The current version of Fedora was diabolical on it, it was as slow as a dog (it is a very old laptop, so I'm not that surprised), and had a 1 hertz flashing at the top of the screen unless I fiddled with a desktop rendering option every time I booted up. Yet Mint was miles better on it.
I had Mint for a while on an ancient Asus EEE, but then Mint stopped supporting 32-bits (though I think there's a Debian variant that still has it). My current laptop is an Acer about 7 years old and has only 4GB of RAM, yet runs F35 quite well (I swapped the HDD for an old SSD which made all the difference).
Anyway, this is getting OT.
