I'm using trisquel with libreboot but its not very light weight. Ideally something with only free software.
Just got a thinkpad X60. What distro should I put on it?
Ryder Parker
Adrian Carter
make your own distro
Aiden Phillips
Gentoo
Caleb Carter
openSUSE cause it has thumbnail preview in Firefox's file picker
Tyler Cook
Is openSUSE completely free software?
Mason Harris

Make sure to get an SSD, the HDDs made when the hardware was new are now extremely slow
Also get at least 2GB RAM
Hudson Williams
debian with xfce, it's definetely your choice
Adam Jackson
This. It's basically arch but free
Brayden Myers
kde
Carson Williams
Parabola. Pick whatever DE/WM you want, Xfce and MATE are both pretty lightweight. Parabola is rolling release and stays pretty close to Arch, while Trisquel hasn't had a major upgrade in a while (don't know about regular updates). FWIW, Parabola is the only distro recommended by both FSF and Libreboot.
