I just bringed back to life my old laptop with Linux Mint 20 and I can honestly say, MT4 works way better on old hardware, than on new hardware with Windows. No more freezing on M1, M5 charts, witch is a big surprise to me. The only problem I can see is with this wavy lines from HGI, this got something to do with fact, that Mint do not contain special characters from Windows. I installed Tft-mscorefonts package and this solved problem with fonts, but not with this. Anybody got any solution?

Great stuff, nice to hear.
Try creating a RAM drive on linux 20.
step 1) Open the terminal (
ctrl+alt+t)
step 2) type
sudo -s
input your password
step 3) copy and paste this line and hit return
sudo mkdir /tmp/RamDisk; chmod 777 /tmp/RamDisk
step 4) copy and paste this line and hit return
sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=2048M tmpfs /tmp/RamDisk/
You have now created a RAM drive on Linux 20
now make copy of your MT4 folder and place in
/tmp/RamDisk
The first time you run MT4 in the new folder you will need to login.
MT4 should run sweet on your Ram drive - Remember that you lose the contents of the RAM drive when you switch off Duh!
Enjoy!
All the best
