Top 10 Lightweight OS for Low-End PCs and Laptops

[@jess7819-z3d]

I installed Puppy Linux (Bookworm Pup64) on a HP T620 thin client with a GX415GA processor. I was both surprised and grateful on how fast and responsive it was. Even the Firefox browser was fast compared to other lightweight distros that don't run entirely in RAM.

Thanks! All operating systems should be lightweight. That should be the default.

Will Linux Lite increase my battery life? How long will it stay suppored for?

I have tried d Lubuntu, Linux Lite & Linux Mint XFCE on my old Lenovo Thinkpad X130e laptop with AMD E450APU, 4GB RAM & 250 GB HDD but it is still slow. Is there any Linux distro for such low performance computer? Iam using Linux Mint XFCE on this laptop & I am not satisfied with it.

try antix linux. it's the best from this list. i use the icewm desktop on it. Run's perfect with 2GB ram

runtu linux is lightweight than xubuntu because xubuntu has 2 sessions namely xubuntu and xfce but runtu uses only xfce session not xubuntu like mint
