What desktop Linux has minimum RAM requirements?

Question

linux

There is such a machine: Core2Duo / 1Gb RAM / 160Gb HDD. It is required to use for very simple purposes: easy googling of the "download driver\find manual" level (2-3 tabs, no longer required), SSH\RDP client. We are looking for a modern distribution kit that will take it out, but at the same time, not something exotic so that you can install any current software for Linux (you never know what is needed). Taking into account the meager (by modern standards) amount of RAM, the minimum consumption of this very RAM by the operating system is required.

Answer 1

4GB ddr2 costs 500r (and this is the maximum)
There is poverty, but there is poverty. And endure hellish brakes by holding $ 7 - this is the second.

Answer 2

LXLE or lubuntu

Answer 3

Q4OS, LXL

Answer 4

To run on any computer, I made it on a bootable PuppyRus Linux flash drive. Even two versions. One is old, the other is modern. So - both fly equally fast, especially when in copy2ram mode.
But here the problem is really that for any modern browser you need quite a lot of RAM, and even sites have become disgusting, compared to what they were 10 years ago.
From lightweight browsers, Palemoon can help. But there are also problems there .... Therefore, I use both Palemoon and google chrome, if I need support for some modern features (all sorts of conferences with video-audio, etc.)

Answer 5

Linux for computer 2007

First of all, let's define the concept of moderately comfortable work. In my understanding, this means the ability to interact with modern (loaded) websites without feeling cramped, and without being annoyed every minute by brakes.
For this, the minimum required:
* 64-bit processor - weaker 32-bit processors are not suitable for today's websites, not because of their architecture, but because of their performance. 64-bit processors massively appeared in 2006-2007.
* 1 GB RAM is the absolute minimum for the patient. 2 GB or more will greatly expand your multitasking capabilities and increase your overall performance, and are therefore highly recommended.

Modified Linux Mint XFCE for older computers is available on the same page.

Answer 6

Table slave lxde.
And either ubuntu or debian

Answer 7

a couple of days ago I watched a vidos , new SNEAKERS - they were ahead of everyone,
where xfce and mate got there)) (I had to put together a shushlaik with 1GB of memory,
put any, you can start linux on 512mb = tried = I know
and the browser works and YouTube seems to))
Q4OS = install = good distribution

Answer 8

Everything will rest against the browser (memory), whatever one may say.
But still, with such a configuration of hardware, the level of comfort (if you can call it that) is highly dependent on the distribution) Therefore:
1. Core2duo seems to support up to 8 gig - increase memory to the maximum possible for your hardware
2. Even the lousiest SSD will really give vigor against the background of HDD
3. Distributions:
a) Slitaz (the first hour is a bit exotic - then it's normal, and the memory doesn't eat at all. Almost everything is installed)
b) Antix (deb)
c) Crunchbang++ | Bunsenlabs (deb)
d) as mentioned above
4. After installation, take a closer look at the pen of the system in swap in "heavy" modes. If present, set zRam.

Answer 9

You can install a thin client, such as Thinstation

Answer 10

Greetings!
In one ANO at one time I set up about the same two computers. The hardware part, one can say, one to one. Then I tried several Linux distributions (licensed purity of the software was required) and settled on Linux Mint 19.1 xfce (32bit).
They still work on these computers. Every day.
Office, Internet, printer + scanner, graphic programs on the little things. Not to say that it "flies", but you can work. I just don’t remember which browser I installed then ... maybe Firefox.
Only if you decide to download it, the 32-bit version is no longer published on the official website, you will have to look for it on third-party resources.

Answer 11

Antix Linux is ideal for this.
