 Acer Aspire 5100, AMD Turion 64 Mobile MK-36 2000 MHz, 768 MB RAM, Mobility Radeon Xpress 200, Realtek Fast Ethernet Adapter_Broadcom Limited Wifi, Western Digital 80 GB.
First time I'm installing AcademiX GNU/Linux on a laptop. Although, as it is, everything runs decently. It seems it's missing something for the wireless network, I need to search for it and also RAM upgrade and everything would be much better. A turning point for me to switch to MATE, simpler than GNOME and not gourmand as resources.
EDU and Package Updater are also better GUI apps for beginners and school environment. Not to mention all other installed by default for them to start out of the gate.
The developer could consider in the future for a lightweight version by reducing a bunch of unneeded packages. That's for experts as default OS for daily work.

 Hi, I installed AcademiX GNU / Linux in dual boot with WIndows 10 on a Dell Latitude 5490 laptop, I have to say that your OS was created quite well, EDU software manager well done with all its categories. The only thing I don't like and start menu, I personally prefer the old Mate menu ... all in all, congratulations for the effort , keep it up !!
