Choose a lightweight OS for efficiency, like Linux or a minimal Windows setup. This will help with typing and apps like Google Drive and IDC.

Windows XP is the main option if you're not using Linux Mint.

It's currently running Windows XP, so I'm considering switching to Linux, just for fun.

Ubuntu and Mint are both Linux distros, but Ubuntu is more popular and widely used, while Mint is a fancier, older-looking version aimed at beginners.

I’d say Ubuntu is more user-friendly, even though I’m still new to Linux and it wasn’t too tough to set up. The downside is that Netflix doesn’t work on it.
