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.

I shared specs on another comment. Let me share link. https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/comment/310020 I’m still learning Lemmy, so I’m not sure if it will link properly. Basically Tl;Dr: maybe 32 bit 8GB 1.8 or 2.2 GHz i3 maybe first gen. I’m currently waiting on ssd.
Link is showing some other comment, but I think you got nice suggestions in the thread.
Try out multiple distros, depending on experience and easines of use you expect.
Go with 32bit even if cpu is 64bit (which looks it is not) sinc it will use a bit less RAM.
I think you can make usable experience, I have i5 second gen with 10GB of ram (with gentoo, but Mint XFCE runs nicely too).
Good luck and update us on experience!
