Which distribution kit to choose for a weak PC?

Question

linux

I have an old desktop PC. I don’t remember the characteristics, but the RAM is about 1GB, the percentage is old, respectively. The PC was given for a while, but later forever, there is the seventh Windows. But it is not comfortable to use, even the start with a response opens. The contents of the folders load for 10 seconds (that's why, I think, they didn't take everything). I want to consult, will the mint pull on a Mate or a rat? Or will I have to install some kind of Lubuntu? I myself have been using Linux recently, but I got used to Mint.

Answer 1

Alas, Linux is never easier than Windows. You can try Xubuntu (Lubuntu is in a strange state right now and I wouldn’t use it), but now the browser is waiting for all the resources and it’s difficult to do something here. Without a memory upgrade, you will not notice the increase. It is advisable to purchase an SSD. And I think even with a weak processor it will be possible to live well.

Answer 2

I have Xubuntu running on 1GB of RAM. Use quite tolerantly.

Answer 3

The browser on any distribution will think about it.

Answer 4

Windows XP + Pale Moon as a browser.

Answer 5

Your choice is 32-bit Xubuntu.
And I do not recommend installing XP even on calculators.

Answer 6

Debian.

Answer 7

Поставить ХР и юзать какой легонький браузер из подходящих/еще на ней работающих только на одной вкладке. С гигом вполне комфортно, даж с 512 было не напряжно. единственное это тказаться от всяких антивирусов скайпов и проч фоновых программ

Answer 8

но озу около 1гб

Никакой.
Можно поставить Windows 7 или Xubuntu 32bit 16.04, но браузер всё равно не потянет.
Я бы выбрал Windows 7.

Answer 9

Виндоус быстрее работает.

Answer 10

Генту стоит на ноуте. Система +X+xfce занимает меньше 400 мегабайт. Но каждая вкладка браузера от 150 до 700 мб. Они не все в памяти конечно. Своп спасает
