Good day
I would please like to ask for suggestions for first time installation of linux on an old pc that has recently come into my possession
It is
Pentium 4 3.4 Ghz (2 cpu) 2 Gb Ram 1Tb hardrive Onboard graphics 128 mb
I have been looking at Mint and I am assuming that the Xfce Edition would probably be the smarter choice, but I am curious to know if I could use something like Cinnamon Edition and will it run smoothly hitting at the minimum spec of 2Gb RAM. Is their other alternatives that provide a good exprience for the limited resources as I decide to take the plunge?
The language you set during installation sets the environment variable LANG which is picked up by the desktop environment to set keyboard language, date format and a few other things.
The more I know, did throw me off though and changed the keyboard setting to US and haven’t had issues. At least all the other information will be to my liking so that is a happy accident at least.
Appreciate the information, thank you
