@curiousgoo @WR5 “You would want to avoid Ubuntu, and installing anything through Snap or PPA repositories if it ever comes up in your searches.”
Snaps have improved greatly and there’s nothing to stop people from using Flatpak instead. Also, it’s not clear why you suggested not using PPA repositories, there are risks, but there are advantages too. Ubuntu has a huge support community, I’ve been using Ubuntu happily since 2007, tried many other distros, but always go back.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Which lightweight Linux Distribution with GUI would you recommend for an old Laptop ?
1·3 年前@Fungus I have an old Gateway laptop with a single core CPU which happily runs Zorin (32 bit version). Easy OS for beginners.

0·3 年前@manpacket I prefer Flatpak, but Snaps do seem to be getting better, then again I have a history of foolish optimism 🤔

1·3 年前@InternetPirate I’ve been happy with Ubuntu since 2007, I don’t always like Canonical’s choices, but they’re easily changed. Recently tried Vanilla OS, easy install and seems solid, good alternative to Nix I think.
