A distro and desktop environment recommendation for an old laptop (Read all of it, please.) ( kbin.social )

I would try and avoid GNOME and KDE desktop environments. Also would recommend avoiding Zorrin. It was one of the first distros I used and it wasn’t very stable and software compatibility was rubbish.

Mint is really good out of box, and if Cinnamon is too heavy they have an iso that ships with xfce which is a lot lighter (and uglier imo)

XFCE (and uglier imo)

BOOOOO XFCE can be as beautiful as you want it to be. Also, it is very functional.
