Lubuntu is a Ubuntu-based distribution ideal for users seeking stability. Manjaro offers a user-friendly Arch Linux alternative perfect for beginners. Puppy Linux provides top-tier performance at the cost of ease of use.

Just to clarify, we're currently running at 2.1 GHz.

Avoid launching a complete modern desktop Linux—it’ll perform much worse than Windows. I suggest OpenBSD; it works smoothly even on my outdated 32-bit Thinkpad.

Except for Linux, it's likely incorrect.
