Looking for a good Linux to install on a slow 2019 machine. Relative beginner with Linux.

MaoTheLawn [any, any]@hexbear.net to Linux@lemmy.ml – 19 points –

Hello! My old laptops hard drive packed it in, so I got a new one and now need to flash drive an operating system on it. I think this is my time to give Linux a proper go. I tried it before for my gaming PC but switched for a cracked Windows key because I was young and not bothered to learn.

Well, now is my chance to give it another go. I'm looking for a Linux optimised for performance on an HP 255 G7. Threadbare, but not so bare that it'll require me to do a load of complicated stuff to do the basics. I'll just be using it for YouTube and Google docs really. Any help/advice/orders are appreciated.

Thanks!

Lubuntu is really snappy, you should give it a try

Lubuntu is great, but I wouldn’t be using it except on a really old laptop as it doesn’t look so nice and some stuff are difficult to do compared to Fedora workstation.
