Someone asked me to put Linux on this. I've honestly haven't tried before to deal with these kind of hardware, so I'm all up for any distro suggestions. Thank you!

Linux on an OLD Laptop

The amount of times I've needed to fix this laptop... anyways let's get Linux on this old laptop to make it great again. We are going to try out two lightweight Linux distros to see what it needs.

Distributions:
https://antixlinux.com/
https://zorin.com/os/download/15/lite/

Hella damn epic, thanks for that.

#

Might torture the nugget a little bit with Chromium when I'll get it later hehecat

#

chromium and chrome and edge work quite well on multimedia web over firefox these days

bright steppe
#

At least that's something

#

Can't say if that 2GB is quite some legroom, but at least that's better than 1

devout ridge
#

ur spec pic never said how much memory. so it's 2 GB?

bright steppe
#

Oh yeah, just noticed... that's on a different spec sheet yea

devout ridge
#

i use it on 2 GB. but i have a dual core.

#

that thing is single core, dont expect miracles
