I’d suggest AntiX, as it’s great for crappy hardware and a personal favourite of mine, but seeing as I chose Mint for my first distro that stayed installed more than a day, after I broke AntiX and couldn’t figure out what I even broke or how to fix it… (don’t ask who recommended that as a beginner distro to my clueless self…) yeah. Mint. Maybe go with XFCE or something rather than Cinnamon, modern DEs take up a lot of resources on an already chugging shitbox.
Fun. Reminds me of an image I found on Tumblr, from one of the Linux gimmick blogs, IIRC…
Yeah, immutables have… probably a usecase, but even as someone who Should Not Be Messing With Core System Stuff, I don’t want or need that, and can’t see an obvious usecase.
you’ll be blown away by how asinine windows is once you’ve got used to Linux.
This, absolutely. I really hate Linux sometimes. But then I have to deal with Windows, which I hate even more. It’s not that I like Linux. It’s that I like it more than Windows.
Tbh, not sure about the seat. The guy might be fun to start a “best distro” argue-til-blue-in-the-face-about-something-pointless with, and the wolves… if you feed them, you’ll have a pack of cute puppies who want their bellies rubbed, and I like dogs…
