older laptop distro recommendarion

UnknownQuantity@lemm.ee to Linux@lemmy.ml – 59 points –

Recently I've gave up Windows for Linux and installed Ubuntu with KDE Plasma desktop on my pc and laptop from 2007. It's an i7 Intel processor with 8gb ddr ram so I thought it would be fine, but it seems quite sluggish. What distro could I use that would be faster and still fully functional? Thanks for your help in advance.

Try archlinux+i3wm. This is best thing happened to my laptop 💻

It's probably not the best idea to recommended arch to a beginner

He didn't mention that he is newbie

they did, "Recently I've gave up Windows for Linux"
