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.

@nixCraft I can only recommend Debian, it's easy to maintain and you can't miss with it. It's well documented and will receive security updates for years. Debian 13 is brandly new and fresh. You'll never have any issue with it, it's rock solid and works with a lot of old computers. XFCE and MATE desktop environments are good choices
