Okay Peeps.
I am gonna Linux an old laptop which runs Win 10 adequately but is never gonna be specced for Win 11.
Any suggestion as to which version of Linux to install to get a nice desktop experience with minimum Linux knowledge.
Laptop Details
ASUS X200CA
1.5 Ghz Celeron 1007U
4GB RAM
500 MB HDD
11.6" Touchscreen
Usual Integrated graphics,WiFi, touchpad and so for your would expect on this type of machine.
@raymierussell first go for an SSD, it will help in speeding the machine.
I had a Celeron 1000M machine, wasn't that bad under Gnome but it had 8GB ram. Maybe XFCE it's lighter, or the DE of #rpi that uses wayland, is wayfire its name?
I use to compose my distro (
) so i'm not in the position of suggesting you a particolar distro, outside of a Debian or a Mint, outdated software problem can be solved by using flatpaks from Flathub.
