I'm planning to set up Xubuntu on your mom's old netbook for two main reasons. It runs smoothly on netbooks and is relatively stable across different systems. She’s had some trouble with Windows before, so I want something reliable. My sister has tried various fixes—like using Avast in advanced mode—but still faces issues. She needs an OS that’s easy to manage and secure. Make sure it’s 64-bit if possible.
I don’t understand much about Linux, but I looked into it just because of this
She installs many of those low-quality games and browser bloat that fill up browsers with numerous toolbars and extensions. She insists on using Chrome, even though Firefox runs faster. I got frustrated when she switched to Dell’s version because it slowed down after the initial speed. I checked her add-ons and found at least a dozen that are harmful.
Ahem. It seems my experience suggests Chrome runs best on this laptop, while Opera and Firefox aren't quite as smooth. Maybe Linux Mint would be a better fit? I've heard it's one of the more user-friendly Linux distributions besides straight-up Ubuntu.
