I really hope you mistyped and meant those SSDs are 120GB (Gigabyte, instead |
| 13 |
of Megabyte) |

120GB is enough. I have an older laptop with that and it runs KDE/Plasma just |

fine and even manages some games from steam. |

Most important is the memory requirement. |

2GB Ram can be made to work, but if you want a desktop, you need to forget |

about the likes of KDE and Gnome and go with something that needs less memory. |

I have no idea how well they support accessibility tools like speakup though. |
