Many of those lists also turn a blind eye and include Linux distributions that haven’t been updated in years. They’re not for those who should be their primary audience: Windows users who want to “jump ship” to The Land Of The Penguin. They’re great for someone somewhat familiar with Linux. Most of them ignore factors like ease of use or the desktop experience after installation. You’ll find many “light Linux distributions” lists elsewhere, but we believe they all share the same problems. Let’s see the lightest Linux choices available today that can make your computer feel new again. Some might skip some nice-to-have features, but they all offer the essentials to make your PC usable again. There are many Linux distributions you can choose from, fine-tuned to run on older or relatively underpowered hardware. Thankfully, not only have you got options, but as you might have noticed by the plural, they’re more than one. What’s worse, even the popular Linux distributions have relatively high demands, and one or two you’ve tried made it crawl.

After years of updates, Windows 10 feels equally slow. The problem’s that your current PC not only shows its age, but Windows 11’s demands would suggest it’s better to put it out of its misery. It would probably be best if you didn’t have to sell your liver to afford a brand new GPU at current market prices.

Would love to hear suggestions.You’ve been postponing an upgrade for years, and just when you’ve decided to take the plunge, you realize there’s no worthy hardware available.
Is there any difference between Wayland and X11 in performance? I try to stay away from obscure distros that might be discontinued. Is possible for apps to open instantly in Linux? Might not be the fastest (compared to XFCE) but it looks great and even Gnome apps look great. Sorry for writing a book but I want to give as much info as possible before somebody replies recommending a distro I already tried.ĭesktop should be Gnome. Windows XP +15y ago feels like a rocket in comparison. Speed Why does Gnome feel so slow? It takes seconds to open a browser or app. I remember slimming down Windows XP to -200MB.
#Lightweight linux distro debian based install
I prefer something bare and I can install what I need after. I also hate distros that come with a bunch of software. I tried other distros like Zorin (seemed solid), Clear (fast but limited apps), elementary (beautiful but unstable), OpenSUSE/Mint (don't like KDE), pureOS (less support as Fedora but looks the same/ but Debian), Tails (not good for day-to-day), Qubes (might be the best but needs HW with a lot of RAM).Īrch seems to be the best for advanced users but when I see the hassle it is to install it gives me the impression devs are not prioritizing important stuff.
#Lightweight linux distro debian based update
Will I be able to update to Fedora 36 by just using a command and restart? People say it's a "beta test" for Red Hat, it has short term support. Also has big install base and I was able to fix the wifi problem without too much of a hassle (dnf update + dnf install broadcom-dl. I think its the only who recognizes WiFi out of the box since it comes with non-proprietary drivers/software)įedora: Uses the latest Gnome and looks like a clean distro (my favorite so far). Botched Gnome with purple and orange? Give me the impression devs listen to too much (c)rap. Ubuntu: Huge install base but the UI is ugly. First thing I did was remove Windows (amount of bloatware and spying is scary). It has only 4GB RAM, a crappy screen (15 inch but a horrible viewing angle) but a decent laptop overall. I was a Windows guy (1996-2006) who switched to Mac (2006-2021) and now I'm moving to Linux since I think Apple is losing its touch with macOS, specially with security and UI.
