I’m just starting out with Linux but have an older Core2Quad setup running as an HTPC. I’m using it on a 73-inch 1080p display, which can make viewing a bit challenging at times. I’m looking for tools that offer similar zoom capabilities to Windows 10’s system-wide features, and I’ve heard linuxlite might not be the best fit. If you have any suggestions for other distributions to explore, I’d appreciate it!

Your setup uses GM45 graphics, while your device supports GM45 as well. Let me know if you need more details!

The problem isn’t related to graphics; it’s mainly about visibility of text and icons on my TV when I’m seated. That’s why I’m looking for a method to zoom the whole system similarly so scaling works better on Windows.
