Eliminate all the removedty worthless content and spammy replies that people brought over with them from the removed hole that shall not be named and focus our efforts on creating quality content that users (particularly the ones that are already here) actually enjoy and engage with.

I ran Mint with Maté until recently on a core2duo with 4GB of RAM and it ran quite well.

Battery life on laptops is always over exaggerated regardless what OS you run.

12+ hours of actual battery life during use just doesn’t happen.
