Hi

I found your email, and discussion elsewhere, whilst weeding items that have accumulated over the past two years. 

You mentioned a USB Wi-Fi adapter. 

For laptop use, I might suggest: 

  • a minimum of 2 G memory (RAM) for installation and for infrequent upgrades
  • a minimum of 4 G for everyday use of the installed system. 

This assumes possible use of KDE Plasma and applications. Related:
