Debian, of course. It's been my reliable standby for all old computers I resurrect. The XFCE version is extremely light and well-suited to old machines with little in resources like RAM and storage.

I thought about trying it, but it was 3.21 GB. I thought I would try antiX, Puppy, and Bodhi first. Then I decided on antiX. I might try XFCE via a flash drive.

Bodhi is pretty lite too. Interesting UI design.

Yes Bodhi was very good in terms of RAM usage. But it was putting more load on the CPU. My processor was already weak.

I have not tried it. I do not know much about it. But I am curious about what it is like.

It's a very stripped down version, similar to Bodhi but no additional apps included and the structure for the UI is similar to XFCE.

I understand. But for now, I have installed antiX. I can also try that one from a USB drive and see how it goes.
