QUOTE(Steponlego @ Sep 14 2021, 09:56 PM) Interesting. ubuntu getting bloatware. the base os getting bigger. try stable distro based slackware or debian stable one. But it looks like I'm going to need to get technical with the OS - open terminal and running back and forth to forums read how to guide if I want it running with all my favorite apps. Currently on Ubuntu MATE. Uses more resources compared to previous OSes, but web browsing on Chromium is significantly much faster than other. Plus the software center looks better than others. Edit: tried the cloudready OS. not edge scrolling option... i just can't. guess i am not ready. also, the video playback is not as good as Ubuntu MATE. then linux desktop. some desktop eat more resources than others. 32 bit if available Salix Xfce. ready to use slackware Devuan xfce. EXE GNU/LINUX (Devuan with Trinity Desktop) Raspberry Pi Desktop. debian based with mate. Q4OS TDE Desktop. Can use MX linux repo for more extra and update app. MX linux Fluxbox. |

Latest linux distro release getting bigger and bigger. Anyone looking linux for old computer may try debian derivatives based lite distro  End Of life this month. MX linux with Open box LXDE desktop Open synaptic and install some mx- package More lite than MX Lite and mx base.iso release Pin Linux Antix linux very confusing to use. This spin is Antix based with Open box LXDE desktop ready to use Bento Antix Linux Sparky stable edition https://sparkylinux.org/download/stable/ Anyway the problem with old cpu not just OS getting bigger, web browser firefox and chrominium based eat memory for modern web site eg facebook. shopee and youtube. 6GB RAM is the minima for today web. 4GB + 2GB. 4GB RAM taken over by web browser itself Another option is using debian 32 bit PAE stable distro. The catch is some application no longer have 32 bit release This post has been edited by JLA: Jun 11 2022, 09:46 AM FlierMate1 liked this post
