 * I’m running on my PC on xbuntu and editing my blog over the browser is very slow.
   I’d like to run it from the PC, but don’t know how to install it and which version
   to use. My PC is very old!.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

 * WordPress is not something you install on your computer necessarily. It’s web
   software that runs on a web server, and you work with it through your browser.
 * If you were to install WordPress on your computer, you’d have to install a local
   server environment first [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/tutorials/installing-a-local-server/](https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/tutorials/installing-a-local-server/)
   and even then working with that local installation would only impact that local
   installation, not your publicly accessible site hosted on a web server elsewhere.
 * I suggest trying different browsers for your OS to see if any perform better.
   The last time I was under Ubuntu, Firefox [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/)
   did quite well, I don’t know if that will work under Xbuntu though.
 * Alternatively, if you use the Jetpack plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/)
   to connect your site to a WordPress.com account, you may be able to use the Linux
   distro of the WordPress.com Desktop app [https://apps.wordpress.com/desktop/](https://apps.wordpress.com/desktop/)
   to manage your site (similar to the iPad app you mentioned in a previous thread).
 * To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different 
   entities: [https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_vs_WordPress.com](https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_vs_WordPress.com)
