PeppermintOS? I’m trying to prepare an ancient Chromebook C202S for Linux and have had some ideas from antiX to MXLinux and Loc-OS, but it seems that PeppermintOS may be among the best choices.

The tech level of this Chromebook’s end user is unlikely to work well with Arch + BSPWM, which was recommended to me by someone else.

    I can’t remember where I read it or it might have possibly been in a video: the KDE Falkon browser may be a better fit than Firefox. I guess I’ll try both…

      Firefox is a heavier browser, so there are other options to use when RAM is an issue. There are tradeoffs in features though, so pick what works best. The default RAM I had with the Macbook (2GB) was usable but barely, I had to stay away from something like Youtube or it would crash. But I was able to bump up to 8GB which opened up doing a lot more.
