Anyone know minimum requirements to run Ubuntu. The main flavor as well as any other you want to share. Also, suggest any other distrio for a 15 year old laptop. Thanks.

    Ubuntu, due to the Gnome desktop, might not be the best choice here. Can you share the laptop’s specs? If it is 32 bit only, this limits your options considerably. With the few information so far, I’d suggest anything with LXDE or XFCE as a desktop environment, if you’re feeling fancy, you can even go for tiling window manager like i3 or sway. Distro itself… Debian? Arch? Depends mainly on your skillset and preference, you might have to do some modification by yourself (so bring some basic Linux skills)
