Just gave suse a shot, didn't work out too well. Not sure if its a kde or a suse thing, but everything was very slow and buggy (despite only using ~400 mib ram ). Guess i'll just crawl back to Xubuntu for now, as its literally the only distro that has worked well on this 10 year old computer.
I looked it up and it is. I guess this will be my last shot before giving up.
Xfce never froze with me.
Probably a KDE thing. The "KDE is lightweight because it uses not much ram" is dumb. KDE is not lightweight, even more for a 10 years old machine. Try OpenPePe with Xfce.

I did, and it solved the weird graphical glitches I was having, but certain things were still very slow. When screenfetch takes more than 10 seconds to load you know something is wrong...
It's most likely a driver issue. Check the YaST for restricted drivers or something like that.
Thanks, i'll try this as a last ditch effort before wiping my install.
Oh, forgot to mention, Linux Mint has a rollign branch called Linux Mint Debian Edition. It's a distro famous for working out of the box with any haardware.
I replied to myself.
Hey guys.
To people that have used Wine: have you ever ran into the problem of a game's audio being too equalized and jarring?
I'm trying out a game called Betrayer and it seems like everytime a new sound is played, it is played at the loudest volume regardless of distance from the player, which is really confusing given that sound is a vital mechanic (Directional audio guides you)
Does anyone know a workaround for that particular problem or am I out of luck there?
are there any distros that bundle software like timidity++ and if not then why? all these so called bloated distributions don't ever seem to actually bundle very much useful software
