Consider those:
Puppy Linux,
Xubuntu,
Lubuntu,
Ubuntu-Mate

Windows 10.

G E N T O O

AntiX is a good choice for these low power old machines. But with that huge amount of RAM you aren't really limited.

>>56340518
Literally any of them.

Arch Linux, don't use a DE but only a WM like awesome. It's tiling but features a floating/dynamic mode. Easy to configure, super light. By default it has no titlebar for windows, so it's very efficient for low res screens.

Windows 10.

>>56340518
Lubuntu or Puppy

>>56340716
This. Would also recommend #!++ or BunsenLabs.

1) Ignore any idiot that suggests wangblows 10. If a decent version of windows doesn't work, there is no way that trash will.

2) >>56340549
Anything with a lightweight DE, or maybe even just a wm without de.

>>56340518
make a porteus live stick

>>56340518
Fedora with LXDE worked quite well on my old notebook (1.6GHz Pentium., 1.5 GB RAM)

>>56340518
I have lubuntu on it with a shitty ssd.

It works wonderful. Not really fast but is great for travelling, i can even play a few shitty steam games.

>Linux distro

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
