Hi everyone,
I have an older laptop (about 10 years old) that I would like to repurpose and I am looking for a lightweight Linux distribution that would run smoothly on it. Here are the specs:
- Intel Core 2 Duo processor
- 2GB RAM
- 120GB hard drive
My main goals are basic web browsing, watching videos, and using simple productivity tools (like a text editor and maybe a basic spreadsheet app). I’m not too experienced with Linux, so I’d prefer something that’s beginner-friendly but still light on system resources.
I’ve read about a few options like Lubuntu, Puppy Linux, and MX Linux, but I’m not sure which one would be the best for my needs. Has anyone had success with these or similar distros on older hardware? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
I have searched this topic on this site https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/170o6rt/best_linux_distro_for_older_laptop-power-bi but I could not find anything.
Thanks in advance
Best,
[Hadden]
