Heh, I just finished tinkering with my netbook from like 2006 when I typed my reply, so I guess I was still in that mindset… :D Every mb of ram on that device counts, since it only has 1gb.

KDE is great choice.

I agree with you there, just wanted to mention them in case its old PC and doesn’t run KDE that well

I think they would be fine with any Ubuntu flavor, I would probably go with Xubuntu or Lubuntu because of the lightweight DE. You could also go with Linux Mint XFCE, also light weight. I’m using Kubuntu myself, was very quick and easy to set up.

Since that PC has Nvidia graphics card, you may also want to consider Pop_OS, (which is basically another Ubuntu derivative afaik) since they have distro download with Nvidia drivers ready to go.

Minecraft is more cpu intensive, but it should run just fine!

no

I just joined! I hope to be able to contribute in this place somehow. Reddit is too hectic and big nowadays, this is way more chill and I like that.

Now if I could get all my friends to use Mastodon…
