You forgot Tiny Core Linux. Its one of the lightest distros out there, so lightweight in fact it runs almost entirely in RAM and not regular storage

Maybe try a Fedora Spin. If you look at fedora again, don't forget to install RPM Fusion and all the proprietary codecs and firmwares from them too, that will make performance way better and actually make it usable on the daily. Maybe try the Cinnamon or XFCE variant. Linux Mint is also great for low end laptops.

5:00 afaik puppy linux is meant to have such a low footprint that you can load the entire os into ram if you want and still barely use any ram at all. of note, puppy linux isn't just one distro, it's a collection of many official and unofficial flavors, which are meant to cater to different needs, and have different user interfaces, but adhere to the same core philosophies. so it's possible there's a flavor of Puppy Linux out there that fits your use-case better, and there's definitely one out there with a better user interface

@lovro_ribic Ай бұрын

I think fedore doesnt have anything special to offer for a new linux user. In your case you want a beginner friendly distribution. Linux mint has been the best for that for a long time now. You have 3 versions with mint but you should mainly look at two. The cinnamon is their main version and its the best looking with the best features (uses about 400-600mb of ram idk exactly) and there is also the xfce version of mint which is missing some features and in my opinion looks too outdated. But it does use a lot less ram (200-400mb something like that). The reason mint is very good for noobs is because everything has a nice gui app. The app store in mint has flatpaks by default so you can use the gui app. Also its layout is similar to windows because its ment for new users.

@309electronics5 Ай бұрын

Yep mint is awesome! I used it and still use it on my lower end computer with an i3 5th gen which runs better then windows 10 and has minimal bloat and does not end support soon. Also no key is needed. The only thing i did was compile a new kernel to add some drivers and modules which was easy to do with a great tutorial online
