Hi Sup Forums,
I have a friend that needs a lightweight and an easy to use OS (as in similar to windows). Is Linux Mint his best option?
He's had problems with insufficient RAM/CPU for his computer (got tricked into getting Win10 on a computer that can barely run Win7) but can't afford a new one.

These are the specs of Linux Mint:
>1GB RAM (2GB recommended for a comfortable usage).
>15GB of disk space (20GB recommended).
>1024×768 resolution (on lower resolutions, press ALT to drag windows with the mouse if they don’t fit in the screen).
Post the specs of your friend.
Linux mint is cancer.
I wanted to bang my head on the wall really badly.
Xubuntu is a god tier distro
I love Linux mint. Pic related is my Linux mint setup.
This seems like what I want, thanks!
Ok, looks like Mint will work but requires a bit more RAM. I'm not certain, but am pretty sure he's got 2 gb.
Thanks to everyone that helped.
Linux Mint is the only distro my parents had no trouble using it with. It just works.
>This seems like what I want, thanks!
if you run into some problems. do this
askubuntu.com
xubuntu has errors on startup...
Ubuntu MATE is the way to go.
the site isn't https
Yes, ok.
But how is that related to what I said?
just use mint xfce
distro is shit if the site isn't https, newfag
Xubuntu or Devuan depending on just how shitty this computer is.
that's because mint is the most hassle free distro for newfriends. Sup Forums is just contrary and loves to parrot
>15GB of disk space
way too high, compared to a debian netinst
ZorinOS Lite. It's basically Xubuntu with a non shit UI and better defaults.
Linux mint is awesome.
But you may need to have or get basic Linux knowledge
Lubuntu is retard proof, but yeah Xubuntu or Linux Mint are good too.
sauce on pape
How did you get those icons, editing each program individually with custom pics??
Yes. If he can use Windows 7, then he can use Linux Mint.
Best distro for old ass C2D lappy with 2 GB RAM?
I just installed Linux Mint MATE in a virtual machine with 1GB of RAM and a virtual disk of 20GB just to see how heavy is it in resources.
An install with everything updated takes ~6GB of space in the DD and uses ~500MB of RAM.
xubuntu or mint xfce, doesn't matter
