PeppermintOS? I’m trying to prepare an ancient Chromebook C202S for Linux and have had some ideas from antiX to MXLinux and Loc-OS, but it seems that PeppermintOS may be among the best choices.

The tech level of this Chromebook’s end user is unlikely to work well with Arch + BSPWM, which was recommended to me by someone else.

    honestly the distro is not going to make much difference unless you go to some special distro that runs off the ram (instead of the ssd) like tinycore or porteus

    the de/wm matters most actually, in this case i’d recommend icewm, xfce or lxde.

      I think AntiX and Puppy Linux are RAM-based distros, yeah, or something like that. But I think I’ll try Devuan + Runit as per another commentator here who uses this same machine… sounds promising! I’ve never heard of icewm, though, thanks; I’ll check it out.
