Good morning everyone,

On my old laptop I’m using Lubuntu 18.04.5 because thanks to LXDE it’s pretty fast (I’m using it only to work on Firefox for Wordpress) but I want to change distro with something new with the same speed.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks

      I’m looking to change distro because Lubuntu 18.04 is pretty old and soon it will no have support. It’s pretty good anyway and I’m curious if there is something more fast to work on web.

        I don’t really think distro choice matters so much these days. If you’re looking to try something a little more bleeding edge - you could try something like Manjaro, this has a rolling release pattern so you won’t be in the same situation again. I think this comes in lighterweight flavour like Lubuntu. I’ve heard great things about Pop_OS, I would give that a good look too.

    I was using Lubuntu (and before, Linux Lite) on an old laptop, and they ran okay. Now I run a very barebones Arch, and it is really snappy, also the battery seems to last a bit longer(but that may be psychological). So if you are into a bit of tinkering, I think give Arch (or Manjaro) a try!

    I enjoy an XFCE4 with a clean plank dock, nice and simple. I recommend ~~ CentOS ~~ Fedora Linux because it is more security tight, very reliable, user friendly

    i wouldn’t mind switching from gentoo but nothing comes close to the level of control you get
