A few months ago, I tried fixing up an old, slow laptop and used Linux Mint. It runs well on older computers and feels a lot like Windows, which made things easier for me. I used Imager to make a boot stick, but sometimes Rufus worked better, especially on tricky laptops.
If you’re building an old desktop or upgrading parts, there’s lots of info out there on older CPUs like the Xeon E5-2680 v4 that can give new life to budget PCs. Definitely helped me find some decent, cheap upgrade paths.
