Welcome to the /flt/ - Friendly Linux Thread!
Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about Linux and share their experiences.
*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly Linux Thread ***
Before asking for help, please check our list of resources. If you would like to try out Linux you can do one of the following:
0 - Install a Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine.
1 - Use a live image and to boot directly into the Linux distribution without installing anything.
2 - Dual boot the Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS.
3 - Go balls deep and replace everything with Linux.

Are you happy now?

I can install minimal ubuntu?
drivers+system files+DE of my choice without any programms like thunderbird, video/audioplayer, etc?
>>
>>61846151
None of those computers are new by any means.
15 years ago I had 512mb ram but since you said netbook, I think you were cheap back then as well so you might only have 128mb.
Depending on what you need to use the computer for aside from the DE, I would probably use openbox or lxde.
Try something like chrunchbang or whatever it is called now

Who does GNOME best? Fedora, Debian or Ubuntu? Ideally want to stick with a stable version of whatever distro, don't need my desktop tarding out every 2 minutes like Arch.
Btw please don't reply with 'muh alpine', you are becoming more autistic than the stallmanshits if you keep going down that path.
