Hello,

I decided to conduct an experiment using my "HP EliteDesk 800 G2 DM 35W," equipped with an "Intel(R) Pentium(R) G4400" processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 250GB NVMe drive.

The installation process itself took exactly 15 minutes—as fast as expected.

Immediately following the installation, updates were applied, including kernel 6.18, without any issues. Before the first reboot, I captured the kernel logs—which we can use for troubleshooting or reporting—as well as the output of systemd-analyze (saved as 1.txt). I also collected the logs via journal.txt and kernel_journal.txt, followed by a second systemd-analyze run (saved as systemd-analyze2.txt).

Next, I installed the new kernel, version 7.3.0, and performed another systemd-analyze run after the reboot (saved as systemd-analyze_Kernel_7.3.txt).

After that, I upgraded the RAM from 4GB to 8GB and ran systemd-analyze once more (saved as systemd-analyze_Kernel_7.3_8GB_RAM.txt).

While it is possible to install Deepin 25.2.2 with only 4GB of RAM, the system relies on a swap file on the hard drive. This significantly impacts performance—especially when launching applications—though the initial system boot time remains unaffected.systemd-analyze2.txtsystemd-analyze_Kernel_7.3.txtsystemd-analyze_Kernel_7.3_8GB_RAM.txtsystemd-analyze 1.txtkernel_journal.txt
