Ubuntu MATE is an impressive lightweight Linux distro that runs fast enough on older computers. It features the MATE desktop – so the user interface might seem a little different at first but it’s easy to use as well. In addition to the desktop support, you can also try it on a Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano.
Which version of Ubuntu is best for older laptop?
Lubuntu
One of the most famous Linux distributions in the world, suited for Old PCs and based on Ubuntu and officially supported by Ubuntu Community. Lubuntu uses the LXDE interface by default for its GUI, besides some other tweaks for RAM and CPU usage which makes it a good choice for old PCs and notebooks as well.
What OS should I install on my old laptop?
Linux is your only real option. I like Lubuntu as it runs on virtually anything and is reasonably fast. My netbook with 2gb ram and a weak CPU runs Lubuntu much faster than the windows 10 it shipped with. Plus Lubuntu can be run from a USB drive as a trial mode so you can see if they like it.
