Ok so hi everybody. This is my first ever post here.
To make a long story short, my cousin moved out and was about to throw away his Powerbook G4 but I took it instead. I have a really good Windows stationary computer so i wanted a laptop for school.
1.67Ghz
1GB RAM
15'' 2005
The main things i want to use the computer for is:
Write in Google Drive
Web-browse for information
Facebook
Spotify Web (requires flash)
So I found OSX Leopard a bit slow, web-browsing didnt work to well with TenFourFox either. So I installed Lubuntu with a El Capitan theme on it. The thing is, web-browsing is horribly slow, slower than before, I can't use facebook, I can barely write on Google Drive and I can't install flash on this LinuxPowerPC. Also, the screen brightness lowers itself and when I ''close the computer'' it doesnt wake up when i open it up again.
So what should I do? The OS itself runs very good and fast, wifi works well and such. Do you guys have any tips to speed this thing up?
Im not going to do any hardcore-stuff on it, just browse for information and write in Google Drive, nothing really heavy. I think a 2005 PPC should manage this right? Do a RAM upgrade to 2GB make any difference? Is there any faster browsers? Do you guys recommend another OS so it gets more stable and faster?
Give me tips on what you would have done, the computer is in great shape. It can be all solutions. Thank you very much and have a great weekend!
