Can "Ubuntu-MATE" become faster in the future?

[tkn]

I have an old netbook with an old AMD C60 processor and 768MB RAM (700MB actually, because of zswap) and it is amazing to see that is runs Ubuntu-MATE 22.04 quite reasonable.

See this post:

How does Ubuntu-Mate perform on 2gb of ram?

Hi @gordon , So, you might want to give 64-bit a chance. Maybe it'll perform miserably. But you might just lend a new life to your netbook. It turned out you are absolutely right I tried it, and .... .... I now run Ubuntu-MATE 22.04 (64bit) on a netbook with 768 MB This is the hardware: lsmem Memory block size: 128M Total online memory: 768M Total offline memory: 0B inxi -CGMm Machine: Type: Laptop System: ASUSTeK product: 1015BX v: x.x Mobo: ASUSTeK model…

Lubuntu is not much lighter than Ubuntu-MATE and you need to go lightweight (low RAM usage) on a computer with less than 1GB.
For any 64-bit computer with less than 1GB RAM I would advice Bodhi-Linux
(that is the the E17 based Moksha desktop on top of an ubuntu base)
For any 32-bit computer with even lower specs: Antix

Now at the end of my story, a question pop up! Will it or can it become faster and less resource consuming in the future?

No.

If you want faster and smaller than this, you should switch to debian.

And if you find that too bloated or too slow, try Arch-linux or even Gentoo: These distro's are more lightweight and give you much more control over the install ( especially Gentoo will give you the opportunity to make it as small and fast as you demand ) but it demands some more courage an willingness to learn than the average linux user is prepared to do.
