What do you think is a good very lightweight distro for older computers?
I was rocking Bodhi for awhile, but I could never get it to run easily, there were always tweaks.
I moved on to Lubuntu and I have really liked it, I just upgraded to 18.04 and it seems more "sticky" or slow. At least it is super stable, but the Lubuntu team has recently said they will stop considering older hardware and move in another direction.
This was precisely why they forked it into Moksha, but I just couldn't get it to be stable for me. Most of the other people usually had fewer problems.
I have an older HP with a Pentium duo and only 2 gb of ram. I probably shouldn't complain about speed and might move to Xubuntu. I have entertained the idea of puppy linux as well. I might look into one of the BSD distros.
