Greetings guys and gals.

I found an old laptop of mine and since I don't really use it anymore, I want to try "the linux" on it.

My question is, what's a nice linux distribution to make the windows transition smoother.

I have a vps so I'm not afraid to use the terminal.

I just want vscode and a browser on it, no gaming, no video editing, nothing fancy.

Thanks

    What are the specs approximately?

    Have a look at manjaro, a branch from arch, you could say an "easy" arch, ive been using it with vs code and chromium, no issues and lightweight.

    @Nanos it's also a good suggestion for old laptops, the last build was 'n bit buggy though

    @Nanos know the feel of not having enough time because non play projects take everything, if you ever have time again check manjaro, I have found it quite stable, in terms of the new build of lubuntu I suggest wait 2 weeks +- then update, by then they should have it sorted, luckily sofar minor bugs.

    Thanks for the sugestinos.

    I've installed Linux Mint, i'll use it for a while.

    let's see how long it takes for me to break something.

    @imacat if you break it you ask for the next suggestion and continue cycle till you find one that works for you, this is the Linux way
