posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 12, 2022

A lightweight Linux distro is the perfect solution if you have an old computer that you want to breathe new life into. Lightweight Linux distros are designed to use less system resources and are very easy to install. When it comes to choosing a lightweight Linux distro, there are a few things to consider.
