About
I own two Lenovo T60. Both ran with an outdated debian installation. In August 2023 I wanted to upgrade. But which distro should I choose?
Choosing the distro
That's hard at first, there a plenty of lightweight Linux-distros around. But none publish i386-BIOS-type ISOs anymore.
Nevertheless I tried two of them:
- Bodghi Linux 3.1.0 Legacy: Fast, grafix issues, no Nextcloud-client package, outdated system
- Lubuntu 18.0.4: Fast, great UI, no Nextcloud-client package, outdated system
So, that was a waste of time.
At the end I used Debian 12 (Bookworm) with LXQt. It's in my opinion the only distro that is stable, runs on many platforms and has a comprehensive package repository.
