Reviews
Installed on an old HP/Compaq DC5700 with 4 gigs of ram, stock GPU, 80 GB Hard Drive, and a Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz. Shocked how well WattOS runs. I have tried other distros like Bohdi, Q4OS, Zorin, and Lubuntu on my DC5700 and none ran as fast and was easy to set up the way I want it as WattOS. Currently running the Brave browser with 6 extensions installed and 11 tabs open. Can switch between tabs with hardly any lag and watch YouTube in 720p with no stutter. Recommend to anyone looking to keep an old desktop in service
