...Which Wifi device does it [my MSI U110 netbook] use? One of the Realtek's?
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/network/ll3-0-wifi-problem-with-key/
For what it's worth, some comments by another netbook user. I have an MSI U110 (Atom N2600 processor, 1GB). Replaced the HD with an SSD which probably helps performance. Still has W7 on as W10 upgrade says graphics not compatible. Came with 4 primary partitions, so had to juggle things to enable logical partitions to install Linux without ditching the (rarely used) Windows. Been working happily with LL2.x (32bit) for a long time. Now have LL3.0 (64bit). Installed from USB stick with no network connection - NOT doing updates at the same time. Had initial problems with (a) wifi connections and (b) using Libre Office files on network storage - both noted, with work-a-rounds - elsewhere in the forums. Happy with it now though my usage is not onerous. I did have a problem when trying 32bit LL3.0 on a 32bit machine. There seemed to be a problem with the repositories when trying to update after install. I've not yet investigated that. My main gripe with the netbook is the 1280x600 graphics as I can't always get to important items such as some GIMP control "go" buttons because the control windows are more than 600px high. Hardware supports HDMI on external monitor and it would be great to get that resolution "mapped" onto the built in screen. Don't know how to do that!
There are a number of alternative browsers. I also use Slimjet which avoids Chrome; but Midori was an answer to the specific question of a very light browser which speeds up an old slow low powered machine.On my Dell netbook it is uses far less CPU and memory than FF.I am surprised to hear that it crashes for some users as I haven't had that problem.Still, horses for courses. The best thing is to try them all for yourself on the target machine.
Thanks everybody (I will check out Midori). Just for fun a while back I installed Linux Lite 1.0.0 on the netbook. Took a grand total of 6 minutes to do. You would not believe how well it runs. BUT! Of course, you can't (shouldn't) connect to the internet because of security problems. I agree with LinuxNoob above, a netbook is close to 7 years old. For a computer that's worse than dog years. It would seem my choices are clear. (a) Live with the limitations of running LL 3.0 on a netbook. (b) Use Linux Lite 1.0.0, but stay off the internet. (c) Use a Puppy Linux, with the limitations that come with that. Thanks again for everyone's suggestions. I'll put it back on the shelf & think about it some more. I will say one thing for LL 1.0.0. Once you set it up ,& install from the few working repositories left what you want, it's still a great OS.
