Got myself a ssd for my old laptop today 😊, suggest me an disto , previously I was using elementary os

Would say arch but why not fedora?
Haven't had much experience so can't vouch for it though!

Pop OS

How hold is the laptop? I'm intrigued of people's definitions of old. My current one is 2007... :') also HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF ARCH LINUX IT'S REALLY GOOD

It's 2008 made, DDR2 ram 3 gig

@dufferz ive always used debian based distribution like Ubuntu elementary etc.

But I'll try to install arch. if I fail, will straight away install manjaro

@lxmcf I tried fedora few years ago, had poor support for my Broadcom WiFi drivers. Had to install them over wired internet, little bit of hassle

@http418 yep I had the same issues, newer kernels support is faaaar better

I am biased towards debian.

I'm using xfce on top of arch linux.

@dufferz well I Installed manjaro straightaway to get the feel of arch. And I really liked pacman, then went ahead for a full arch installation.

No my arch system is almost up and running, (almost because I have to install WiFi drivers and install a text editor) and I love it . The arch wiki is amazing.l, aur is amazing and pacman is amazing.

Thank you kind stranger for suggesting arch.
