  • Attempting to have the hardware for Win11

    This Intel N150 CPU couldn't manage how I use Win11, but I'm gonna see
    how an AMD Ryzen 3 5300U does. I suspect it'll suffice.

    No ball of fire but it is an improvement. I have a Windows 11 laptop with
    a AMD Ryzen 7 4700U and it runs well. Single core performance is
    equivalent to the Ryzen 3 but it has 8 cores so it does better multicore.
    The Radeon GPU is adequate for anything I do.

    The Ubuntu box has the same processor. I was happy with the Swift 3 laptop
    so I bought the Beelink that had almost identical hardware.

    That says the N150 is six-core, it's four-core, four-thread.

    Sounds good.
