I still cant believe after so long people still always think im 100% serious in everything I say even when half my forum posts are obvious run of the mill jokes
my suggestion is as genius as ever. windows 8 can run fine. he has enough ram and hdd space to run it.
you know when I would agree with your Linux suggestion? if he was sporting ram below 512mb. then yeah you have no other choice but Linux. but that's not the situation so sorry that I didn't suggest Linux like everyone else
Maybe it's because in the past you've been a massive richard to people who use operating systems that you don't. Seriously, shut the forget up about it.
And I wouldn't say I was joking if I were you. Someone might pull the "jokes on you I was pretending" image.
And did you see my edit? Sure the OS itself can run, but as soon as it has to do something that's not built in, it will preform horribly. This is why Linux preforms so well on old laptops. Because the OS itself is a collection of software from different sources meant to run on certain hardware. Look at Ubuntu for example. Lots is made by the Ubuntu team, but the vast majority of it is organized free software. For example, the Linux Kernel, Xorg, LightDM, Unity being based on Gnome 2, etc.
And also there's the fact that you have to stuff out at least $100 for Windows 8.
