   Experienced with very very old laptop

   I am beginner user of linux, routinely using linux Mint in place of windows. In Antix I could not able to install deb files, easily, Even not able to get prompt directly from file browser.

   Definitely run well in less powerful machine. Did not find any drivers issue. I have use external monitor since laptop display was not functional. Pre installed office suite and other software. Got a software stores kind of option able install from there.

   🏁 Competitors: Puppy Linux

   👎 Cons:    Needs little experience for beginners

• on an old budget laptop, what nonessential things can I delete to make Linux Mint run smoother?

  My first choice is always Peppermint OS. Peppermint has worked really well on just about everything I've thrown it on, uses XFCE desktop (generally great for older hardware), and doesn't come with a bunch of stuff preinstalled that you'll not likely use. It's Debian-based, so you'll feel familiar in the environment since you've been using Mint. Source: over 1 year ago

• what distro should i use for my old laptop

  Consider Peppermint OS, Linux Lite, or maybe even Linux Mint Mate (but avoid the Cinnamon variant, too much overhead on the GPU). Source: over 1 year ago

• Issues running my program driver related issue.

  I am currently using PeppermentOS Devaun edition. I created a Rust project originally on Windows and it works fine, but moving to Debian I get driver related issues:. Source: over 1 year ago

• Has anyone got a Linux Distro, which looks good and runs well on 2GB ram tops?

  I have BunsenLabs running on an EEEPC that only has 2GB RAM. I'm also partial to Peppermint OS. Source: over 1 year ago

  2 GB RAM with a HDD? Learn to like Linux, my friend. Try Peppermint (32-bit for that mobo) - https://peppermintos.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
