Well the reports I’ve seen said there were improvements. I have another machine from roughly the same era and its HDD performs much better (to the point I don’t even want to upgrade it much) so I’d say the attempt is worth it.

Thank you, mister/miss. This is very helpful.

Anything can get more minimal. But it wasn’t my point. My point was that many good FOSS apps are like this (and they’re obviosly significantly more minimal than bloated commercial proprietary garbage that you may compare them with). Jerboa isn’t much unique amongst them.

It’s not even that minimal. It’s just a yet another good FOSS app. We have many many more of those around here.

EDIT: also there’s a separate Jerboa community at https://lemmy.ml/c/jerboa
