Hello my fellow dev ranters! I've been speaking with my dad and he has been complaining about how slow is his old windows machine. I was thinking of move it to a Linux distro, but I don't know which.
The machine has 2gb of ram, about 200gb os disk, a ati radeon 2400 gpu and a intel dual core.
With these specs and taking into account that the final user is a person that mostly uses the pc for web browsing, sports stream and movies. What would be a good, lightweight and simple to use linux distro?
Thank you in advance!

    Lubuntu has one of the lowest resource usage stats and is pretty much made to be used on low end older machines.

    Thanks! Those seem to be all viable options, but I need to take a better look. I'll keep you posted on my decision and maybe post a printscreen 😁

    I use Debian XFCE on my HP Pavillion from 2003 just fine even with it having 1GB of RAM and some old 1.7GHz monocore CPU 👌
