4 months agoThis is an absolutely bottom of the barrel machine nowadays. You’ll be able to run Linux on it, but nothing is going to run “fast”. Especially not a webbrowser with modern websites.
If you’re actually considering using this machine, the two most important upgrades you can make are SSD instead of HDD, and a bit more RAM (8GB if possible). With the ~2011-2012 CPU (judging by the release date of the iGPU listed) and the mentioned upgrades, you should have a usable (although slow) workstation for light tasks. Without the upgrades, be prepared to wait for things to load.
The company that now owns SteamDB has this bolded on their front page:
It can’t really get more dystopian than that.
NexusMods themselves went to absolute shit, requiring an account for stuff like downloading mods, and getting a premium subscription for basic features like “Instant downloads”, “Viewing more mods per page”, and “The ability to choose a preferred download server”.
SteamDB used to provide a completely free (in price) service, with no strings attached. This was by far the most common usecase of the service. Seeing the history of NexusMods and the company that owns it, this will change. The moment SteamDB requires an account for previously public info, or even a premium subscription, is the moment the service becomes unusable for most. Effectively, SteamDB is marked for death.
