Good day
I would please like to ask for suggestions for first time installation of linux on an old pc that has recently come into my possession
It is
Pentium 4 3.4 Ghz (2 cpu) 2 Gb Ram 1Tb hardrive Onboard graphics 128 mb
I have been looking at Mint and I am assuming that the Xfce Edition would probably be the smarter choice, but I am curious to know if I could use something like Cinnamon Edition and will it run smoothly hitting at the minimum spec of 2Gb RAM. Is their other alternatives that provide a good exprience for the limited resources as I decide to take the plunge?
Linux Mint Debian Edition is 32 bit
Yes, I did mention that in my first sentence. The second one refers to the Ubuntu edition.
Thank you for the information
I guess that is for even older systems that one knows will run within the limitations of 32-bit systems but will not be negatively impacted by it?
Just make sure you pick the 32-bit image.
