Just got a thinkpad X60. What distro should I put on it?

I'm using trisquel with libreboot but its not very light weight. Ideally something with only free software.

make your own distro

Gentoo

openSUSE cause it has thumbnail preview in Firefox's file picker

Is openSUSE completely free software?

Try Porteus.

cmon install gentoo dude

do it once for science xD

Is it completely free?

No thanks.

>Ideally something with only free software.
Literally just check the FSF-approved distros.

>he fell for the thinkpad meme

Parabola

how is that a meme?

LinuxBBQ

Which DE?

Make sure to get an SSD, the HDDs made when the hardware was new are now extremely slow
Also get at least 2GB RAM

debian with xfce, it's definetely your choice

This. It's basically arch but free

kde

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.

>Libreboot
Why would I listen to a mentally-ill person?

>What distro should I put on it?
I like OpenSUSE
