Enterprise Linux distributions to empower the infrastructure of businesses.
Average distributions suited for desktops, gaming and workstations.
Distributions suited for embedded and IoT devices.
Weird Linux distributions that you can enjoy trying.
… And lightweight Linux distributions for old hardware are no exemption.
Now a lot of other people and websites may recommend a totally different set of lightweight distributions for you, but in my selection, I didn’t just care for resources usage and the distribution’s ability to work on old hardware.
Instead, I have also cared for the ease of use and your ability as a user to deal with the distribution on daily basis to do your tasks. At the end, the goal is not simply to get an old computer to just work – the goal is to get an old computer to work and do things that you need as someone living in any year.
Remember that the definition of an “old computer” varies a lot. A 2014 laptop can almost run any Linux distribution released today, but a 2009 old laptop? Not much. Here, I am talking about hardware which is at most 10 years old.
So let’s end chatting… Here are my 5 most recommended lightweight Linux distributions for you.
1. Ubuntu MATE
If your computer can just offer 512MB or 1GB of RAM, then Ubuntu MATE is a no brainer.
If your computer can just offer 512MB or 1GB of RAM, then Ubuntu MATE is a no brainer.
Ubuntu MATE – unlike the mainstream Ubuntu – offers a desktop that does not consume a lot of resources by default, and utilizes a familiar traditional layout out-of-the-box.
2. BunsenLabs Linux
It may be the first time you have heard about this distribution, but we can assure you that it’s a good distribution for old hardware nonetheless.
3. Manjaro
This can be a strange selection for the first glance, but Manjaro can offer something very valuable to old hardware.
It’s true that Manjaro comes by default with the GNOME, KDE and Xfce desktops – which are arguable heavy – but you should know that the community of Manjaro provides many other spins of it.
4. Slax
Slax is a distribution that is always booted from USB.
You don’t install it on a hard disk, but instead, you always need to keep the USB stick inserted to the computer to boot from it.
5. Fedora LXDE Spin
This spin is the most lightweight Fedora spin available, as it comes with one of the most lightweight yet functional desktops ever.
While it’s true that LXDE is no longer under active development and entered the legacy mode, it is still very usable and functional till this very day. We prefer LXDE over LXQt because the former is way more lightweight and bug-free than the latter.
The Bottom Line :
So you have seen my recommendations so far. It’s true that there are many other “micro” Linux distributions like Tiny Core, SliTaz and Puppy Linux, but as we said in the introduction of this video: The goal of any user isn’t just to get their PC to boot and work, but to have a good desktop with nice software selection to do their daily tasks.
Other honorable mentions could be: MX Linux, Linux Lite and Peppermint.
