Hey guys linux noob back trying to install lubuntu on my old laptop. Its a think pad x130e intel based and I belive 64 bit
I tried flashing the iso to my flash drive and it just gets stuck on the Lubuntu screen. Is it an issue with the drivers on my computer? Or is it a problem with the iso or how it was installed to the usb?
Im looking into other lightweight distros to run on my laptop. Im just going to be using it for basic browsing maybe basic photo editing and maybe a little counter strike

Whats that?
Someone told me something about installing linux directly to the harddrive or something? But the thread 404ed before I could ask about it.

xfce is a different desktop environment
basically try xubuntu, it's almost just as light but looks better and is generally much more supported, it should work, if you have any more errors post pics...

Then whats then best distro I should get? Given that its a laptop and cant be a heavy desktop distro.
And no gentoo meme. Too lazy to learn to use it

Debian based distros are good for home use so Mint and Ubuntu. You can get xfce mint or xubuntu. Use Rufus to setup the USB if you aren't already.
Just FYI it is most likely your USB that is the problem.

I've had good luck with Centos on older laptops.
Especially with wifi chip recognition

XFCE is a different "desktop environment", basically a different GUI to use. It's very easy to customize and very lightweight.
