Support for Windows 10 is ending next month, making it a great time to switch to Linux! There's no need to throw away your old computer. If you primarily use your machine for social media, shopping, or online banking, you can save money and help the environment.

Which distribution would you recommend? Mint or Ubuntu?

PS: For older computers, a lighter weight distribution might be a better choice so ch as Linux Mint XFCE or Lubuntu.

IMHO, any machine that ran Windows 10 adequately should be fine for any of the big name Linux distributions, with any desktop environment, not just lightweight environmemts. For historical reasons I like Fedora, Rocky, and Alma, but Debian is great, too, and there are many other choices.
