Looking for guidance on choosing a distribution for your preferred game?
So I have a Dell Inspiron duo, ya know, This one . Anyway, I had been running Lubuntu on it, but even that's too heavy anymore. This thing has a dual core Atom processor and 2GB of extraordinarily slow ram. It also has a shiny new $20 SSD in it tho. So I only really ever use it to run pronterface or troubleshoot networks, but I do still want to maintain touchscreen capabilities. I'm leaning towards Arch, but I want to see what other nerds think.
Arch Linux suits this kind of project well. If you're eager to dive in, Gentoo offers a lighter alternative. I'm running it on a 32-bit Lenovo Z61m, and with Firefox it consumes around 500 MB of memory. Keep in mind, Gentoo can take a long time and requires patience during installation. Edit: I just started it. It uses 264 MB when Firefox is open in the new tab.
It seems you enjoy testing limits and prefer lower memory usage for optimal performance.
Could you clarify what you mean by "maybe something like lubuntu"? I'm here to help with your request.
Perfection doesn't exist, especially for that POS, but Puppy gets pretty close! LOL
I believe there is a desktop option available without the additional software
