there is lightweight versions of many others too, like manjaro and zorin, mainly they just use xfce or cinnamon or mate
the core system has never been that heavy that even 1gb memory is not enough, but you kinda need 4gb, and a spinning HDD is gonna be painful
3 years ago I upgraded from 2 GB Ram to 4 GB. I'll add SSD Hard
yeah, SSD will help a lot... it should be a usable system... i had a similar Vaio about 5 years ago, it was nice... my recommendation is to run Cinnamon tho, it's a little heavier than xfce/lxde but it's way prettier, especially with the adapta-gtk-theme installed
I’m really a beginner, and the things you’re saying aren’t familiar to me. 🫣
