Quoting: The 5 Linux distros you should never run on an old PC —
Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:
"Just install Linux" is popular advice when someone needs to squeeze a little bit more life out of an old PC. It also leads many to believe that any old computer, no matter how ancient, can be revived by simply installing any Linux distribution on it. However, that isn't really true—lightweight options exist, but a large share of modern distros are actually fairly demanding.
Those demanding distros will boot, but that doesn't mean your PC that lags with Windows 11 is going to miraculously become a zippy, modern PC once you install Linux. These are 5 distros I'd recommend you avoid if you're running older hardware and want to get the best performance.
