Hello,

I'm reusing old pc for a typing course and I've discovered ktouch as a typing coach. In other old pc are working reasonably well but In one old Pentium dual E2220 2,4Gz with 4Ghz of RAM is not working. It's normal ? It's too old?

I'm wondering if its a RAM problem or a graphics one...but htop shows cpu 97-100% using ktouch.
Why mozilla firefox work fine and a typing coach don't? A graphics problem perhaps? Any hint?

I'll post my hw (old!) specs:

Interesting findings:

I'm writing from a raspberry pi 4 (raspberry pi 400) and there ktouch is working without any problems and more fluid than a Pentium Dual core E85xx with 4Gb Ram.

I've tried ubuntu 20.04, lunbuntu 20.04 and kubuntu 20.04 and all flavors of ubuntu are not making ktouch working well in a pc like posted in the thread.

Perhaps is the raspbian version of ktouch. I'll try to test the raspbian version in this kind old pc's and I'll post the results.

Surprised about raspberry and raspbian ...perhaps I'll need to change all old pc's for raspberrys...
