I am looking for a lightweight Linux distro which I would install on my potato alongside Windows. It should be low on resources and also not totally command line.
please help Fedi :ablobcatbongo:

@mur2501 How low on resources are we talking? I run Mint MATE on an old desktop with a Pentium 4. I don't know how well it'd work on a potato, but if it already runs Windows I have a hard time seeing how you'd have trouble.

@mur2501 That's plenty of power then! I actually don't know of any distro that *wouldn't* work on those specs. Maybe not with wobbly windows and other wasteful applications of processing power, but for general use just get whatever you like.

Ahh yes for linux it is quite good I can run most though I would still like a lightweight non-sugar OS. Apart from that I will only have 25 GB to allocate when I install it alongside windows so that's why don't want a big bulky distro.
