Hello everyone.
I'm pretty new to Linux and I'm still learning the basics, so I hope you have patience because I'm slow to grasp new information in this new world.
I'm on LXLE (and pretty happy with it, I already used to some extent Lubuntu, Ubuntu and Manjaro, and I find myself comfortable in LXLE) because I'm using a pretty old laptop. I have 3gb of RAM and the video card RS690M (Ati Radeon Xpress 1200).
The thing is, I feel something is missing regarding my video card. I know it's an old laptop, it's from 2007, but I find it weird that old games like Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines from 1998 (through Steam Proton, thank you Gabe) do not reach even 30fps. Even youtube videos are a pretty clunky.
I read a bunch of stuff regarding this but I don't quite understand what I need to do.
Can you help me with this? Is this normal? Should my video card be performing better? What drivers should I install? (and how should I install them).
I'm willing to provide any info you need if you are willing to guide me. The terminal is still new to me. Thank you in advance and excuse my poor english.
