So i have this notebook thats not even a notebook fr, its a Aspire One from 2007 or 08, this thing have a GARBAGE processor (Intel Atom) and its DAMN slow and weak, and for that reason it is impossible to use a regular OS in it.

I tried to install a 32 bit linux mint on it, but the installer wouldnt fit the screen and i was unable to use a monitor because everything glitched, also it is so slow that it cannot run linux mint properly. Wich leads me to: I Need a Very Light OS to Run on it

And dont come to me with a "ur dur why are u trying to use this? just throw it on the garbage" because you can be better than this.

So, if you know something that can run on it without making it explode, ill be happy to test it out and send you all updates.
