I took my old hp laptop and replaced the drive with an ssd and maxed out the memory then loaded lubuntu. Now it's my preferred laptop, starts and runs fast.
@switchingsocial @lubuntu wasn't there something a few months ago about them dropping support for older (maybe it was pre-win2000 stuff) computers?
@koenaro @switchingsocial that's not exactly right. It's just that Lubuntu is not exclusively focused on support for older machines. It's a slippery slope and in some cases have precluded the possibility of qualities a much larger audience could enjoy.
@switchingsocial @lubuntu What would you recommend for an old G4 iBook, or an old first-gen Intel MacBook?
@flugennock @switchingsocial @lubuntu Lubuntu, of course.
for instance antiX is more suitable for old computer then lubuntu, but lubuntu is a wonderful distro.
