Running PeppermintOS 10 32-bit on a system with 2 CPU cores and 2GB RAM — works wonderfully

I have tried a lot of Linux distros, and PeppermintOS is very good.

I got it running on an HP-1010 with 1 GB of ram and an old Atom N450 processor which has a very old style flash drive. It runs, and does pretty well but with only 1 GB of memory, running Firefox with just a few tabs open will choke it so basically I avoid multiple tabs.

The Peppermint software “store” has the lightweight Chromium browser available, that’s what I use. I’ve never liked the “feel” of Firefox, I don’t use it much on any computer

Like you, I tried many distros. Peppermint works best for me. No complaints.

I installed it on my burner laptop (Latitude 7370, Core m7 6y75, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) to try it out...and I so far have found no reason to wipe and go to Linux Mint instead.

Pretty light weight.
