Post Body

Hello! My computer that has been passed down from generations (This was actually Woodrow Wilson’s personal laptop during the Great War) is having problems running Linux mint (the newest one). I was able to get the wifi working and google chrome installed but it constantly crashes trying open tabs and especially trying to watch YT

My specs:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo at 2 Ghz

Ram: 3 GB DDR2 667Mhz

GPU: Nvidia GeForce 8800GT

Display 900p 60HZ laptop display

What are some way I can improve the performance abd make it to where I can watch YouTube? Do I have to change to an even lighter OS or is there another way?
