Sounds like her depression/anxiety is the root of problem. Has she talked to a doctor, other than getting hormones checked? Was she always like this, or has something changed lately?
Thanks! I did a fresh install of Debian (64 bit) with KDE, and it seems to be working for me, except it's already frozen up and needed a reboot twice. I might go with a more lightweight DE if that keeps happening.
It's an intel core 2 duo t9300, which I'm pretty sure is 64 bit. I guess I was confused because it was previously running a 32 bit version of windows 7.
Edit: I'm not sure if it's amd64 or aarch64 or mips64. I think it's amd.
I was under the impression that it's old enough to only work with the 32 bit OS. I'll double check that and try installing the 64 bit version if I can.
If the 32 bit version is all that will run, am I shit out of luck when it comes to running any modern software?
