Hello, I have recently goring a few Levono S10-3 Netbooks they come with a Atom 450 CPU at 1.6Ghz (Single Core) and 2 GB of ram. They look almost new, but come with Windows XP licensees. So I have been looking into lightweight linux OS to run instead.
I have tried
Mint 18.1 Mate 32 Bit
-sluggish boot, takes 3-5 seconds to open programs. even with all affects turned to low
Mint 18.1 XFCE 32 Bit
-prettly usable, not snappish, but loads pretty fast, with minimal lag.
Mint 18.1 Cinnamon 32 Bit
-NOPE
Pupply linux
-Fast, like really fast, but crude. Also wifi does not want to work.
I have looked at a lot of the OLD COMPUTER distros at distrowatch.com, but does anyone else have a recommend. I would like some thing that looks good like Mint, but fast like puppy. I know I am asking for a lot. But will consider your recommends.
