What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop? (kbin.social)

It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.

KISSmyOS,

The Distro is not important

Most distros have dropped 32bit UEFI support, so on old hardware, the distro is important.

KISSmyOS,

23, the one that is based on Debian Bookworm.
21.3 worked fine.

KISSmyOS,

If you don’t want to reinstall just cause you forgot your password:
linuxconfig.org/recover-reset-forgotten-linux-roo…

KISSmyOS,

Important clarification: It’s still not viable for you yet.
I’ve been using nothing else for the past 18 years.

KISSmyOS,

Granted, I’m not a big AAA gamer. But out of 60 games in my collection, I couldn’t get 2 of them to run (Rocksmith and GTA Vice City), and for 2 others (Gothic I,II) I had to tweak some settings.
Which isn’t a worse ratio than what I was used to from Windows.

KISSmyOS,

Complaining about how shit Linux is generally doesn’t help either.

KISSmyOS,

I don’t give a flying fuck which OS you use.

KISSmyOS,

Thanks. I tried both, and Shotcut was the one where I actually understood how to import, edit and export a video without consulting the manual, so I’m going with that.

KISSmyOS,

Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind if I need to do more.
Currently, I just have a 5 minute clip that needs cutting, stabilizing and some color correction, and Shotcut let me do that without tutorials or manuals.

The Distro Wars are good actually.?

If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS....

KISSmyOS,

I agree that the wealth of distros offers a choice for everyone and shows how much users love Linux as a system and respect the idea of a diverse, global open source community as a whole.

(I use Apartheid Linux btw)

KISSmyOS, (edited )

That’s not even close to the weirdest distro out there.

KISSmyOS,

Jumping into a lake is more intense with your shirt on.

KISSmyOS,

“sometimes when I’m down here… i listen to the water… and it sounds like people talking…” Uh, okay.

This is perfectly normal when you’re alone in a quiet place.

KISSmyOS,

I’m as stumped as you are. But Gnome has been cat-proof so far.

KISSmyOS,

Yeah but the mouse was dead for some reason.

KISSmyOS, (edited )

No, I just duckduckwent “Hacker Cat” and nabbed the pic where the cat had the smuggest look on her face.
My own cat made sure to dispose of all incriminating evidence.

KISSmyOS,

What I need is image recognition software for the webcam that locks the keyboard when a cat approaches.

KISSmyOS, (edited )

I did not take this picture. I just nabbed the smuggest-looking cat-on-a-keyboard I could find.
But your questioning of my cat’s software testing experience has made her very upset.

KISSmyOS, (edited )

Ooh, exciting, a user-friendly distro based on Ubuntu…checks notes…LTS 20.04???

Gnome 3.38.4
gtk 3.24.20

Holy shit, that’s older than Debian Oldstable.
When these .deb package versions were released, my cat’s mom wasn’t even born yet.

KISSmyOS, (edited )

She’s not wearing any clothes and there’s licking and petting involved.

The Unity Desktop Environment an Underrated Masterpiece (unityd.org)

KISSmyOS,

I always hated how it took away screen real estate from the top and the side for no good reason

KISSmyOS,

Layers are key for comfort!
That’s why I always wear an onion on my belt.
