Hi @Raman0,

Debian is a highly efficient and lightweight Linux distribution, making it an excellent option for reviving older systems and maximizing their performance. You can use it without GUI if you are familiar with CLI. Or you can choose from several lightweight GUI options such as Xfce, MATE, or LXDE, each designed to operate seamlessly on resource-constrained hardware.

Welcome to the forums. Here are a few other recommendations:

  • Lubuntu
    Lubuntu uses the LXQt desktop environment, which is light on system resources. It offers access to Ubuntu’s large software repositories.

  • Linux Lite
    Designed specifically for older machines, Linux Lite is based on Ubuntu and uses the Xfce desktop environment. It offers a familiar Windows-like interface.

  • Xubuntu
    Like Linux Lite, Xubuntu uses the Xfce desktop environment but offers a bit more customizability. It’s also based on Ubuntu.

  • Peppermint OS
    This distribution is designed to be fast and lightweight, using a mix of Xfce and LXDE components.

  • Bodhi Linux
    Bodhi Linux uses the Moksha desktop environment, which is extremely lightweight and minimalist. It’s built to be highly customizable, and it’s great for breathing new life into older machines

  • Puppy Linux
    Puppy Linux is an extremely lightweight distro designed to run efficiently on very old hardware. It can even run entirely from RAM, meaning it can be incredibly fast on low-end systems.

  • AntiX
    AntiX is another lightweight distribution that is Debian-based but without the systemd init system. It uses the IceWM window manager, which is very light on resources.
