Hi. Looking for linux distro to run on intel celeron n3060 laptop.

Currently tried Zorin OS lite, but the media playback performance and general internet browsing or anything just a tad bit demands graphic processing, the laptop struggles. It's generally better than win10, but I'm looking for the best.

You may search for lightweight and fast linux / distro for slow / old computer.

There are few available, but you may need to test which one more suitable for you.

Coming from windows, I would like to try out Linux as my main. What distro should I go with? I would like to keep my desktop clean .. that's all .. and I prefer to have things installed only when prompted .. unlike at times Windows, prone to malwares that may be installed without the user knowing ..

I'll be using it mainly for writing research papers, running statistical analysis or perhaps some bioinfo

writing research papers, statistical, bioinfo
-> you may search for the software you are currently using if they have linux version,
or alternative software which may suit your requirements.

for most common software you may use LibreOffice which can open / export to doc docx xls xlsx ppt pptx.

you may also read reviews from distro watch to find which is more suitable for you.
