So, "getting laggy". For a system, which likely has been upgraded as far as possible (more RAM, apparently SSD). With some effort and some compromises you were able to squeeze out a little bit of extra lifetime. And still supported with Leap 15.x.
Leap 15.x is unusable due to deprecated (by upstream) python stack. Every other python upstream dropped support for 3.6. And that's only one example. Will be python updated to something maintained in 15.5? Barely. 15.x is simply too old to run on machines with current SW needs today, please stop suggesting that. People are using what they are using for a reason. TW still runs just fine on both old (as old as my i586 desktop (with an SSD) -- used very seldomly) and new machines. Again, there is little need to upgrade CPUs today. If you have enough RAM and an SSD, you are fine. (If you don't do computations, graphics, or stuff like that, which most people don't.)
Most Core2Duos will not have an SSD, nor 8 GByte or even 4 GByte of memory. Notable exception, but far from typical.
What? Both my core2duos have 8g/12g RAM and an ssd. People do upgrades of components. However, there is a little point in upgrading the motherboard/CPU. It's sometimes even impossible. For example due to connected old (and expensive) peripherals like through legacy PCI. The systems run just fine 24/7. Why would you people still want to abandon them for no good reason? That, I still don't understand. regards, -- js suse labs
