Dug my old laptop out (HP G60, Turion X2 64) - and installed Mint XFCE on it - so far it’s useable, but of course still slow. I’m amazed it works as well as it does (3 GB ram and an SSD). The CPU usage is at 100% a lot of the time.
My question is, what distros do you guys like for this age of laptop? This is a spare so more for messing around. I was thinking of trying Arch as I’ve hard it’s somewhat lightweight but not sure. I’ve really only used Debian since I’ve been on linux.
I tried it out and it may be a little advanced for me. I didn’t realize all the commands are different from regular debian. I have enough trouble remembering commands from 1 distro ha!I did get it installed but from there kind of stuck
Hey you tried it. That’s an achievement. Good job. Sorry it didn’t work out.
Its definitely for the more advanced users !
