Ah, good to know. I wonder how is it possible then for Debain-based distros (MX) to run well on this notebook

Thanks, that's actually a very clear tutorial. Definitely saving it

This laptop wouldn't even run on windows so I'm not sure what you're suggesting

Oh shit, what newest release did you upgrade to? I think I have MX21 in my Acer one

Thanks! Great advice 👍

I've been hearing good things about opensuse while researching my alternatives

Because it does give me a functional piece of software to grab YouTube videos without actually opening YouTube, but it cannot really run Firefox with uBlock, which basically means web browsing is impossible

Hmmm yeah I hadn't thought about upgrading the laptop, that's a big idea, and indeed it should be super cheap

Thanks! I'll check it out

Thanks! I'll check it out

Why would she hate Linux?

LOL

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check those out

I've been using MX since it was Mepis. I love seeing it said well recommended in this thread. For the old laptop I'll go with AntiX

Yeah I'm going with AntiX. Used it a long time ago and assumed it had merged with Mepis to do MX, but thanks to this thread I find out it's still available

Yeah it's going to be a debian-based at least, that's for sure

Interesting. I search for Alpine Linux and the first search result was a Lemmy community. Looks interesting. Thanks!

Thanks, that list was very helpful in confirming some of the ideas I already had.

Thanks but the laptop is for my 3-yeard old daughter. I hope she becomes a linux user but she's not there yet (to use FreeDOS) :)

Good point. Thanks
