Hello! My old laptops hard drive packed it in, so I got a new one and now need to flash drive an operating system on it. I think this is my time to give Linux a proper go. I tried it before for my gaming PC but switched for a cracked Windows key because I was young and not bothered to learn.
Well, now is my chance to give it another go. I’m looking for a Linux optimised for performance on an HP 255 G7. Threadbare, but not so bare that it’ll require me to do a load of complicated stuff to do the basics. I’ll just be using it for YouTube and Google docs really. Any help/advice/orders are appreciated.
Thanks!
FWIW, a few months ago I nuked windows on an old laptop and installed Xubuntu and it was a whole lot more responsive.
(Disclaimer: I actually like Xfce.)
Mint is a solid ‘shit just works’ choice too, especially for beginners.
