I have an old Subnotebook (at least 10 years old I think) which runs Windows 7 atm. I would like to run Linux on it. Iâm a Linux noob, but would like to try and learn a few things. Any recommendations?
Youâre way too deep in the linux world
Yep.
beginners
Beginners need to learn anyways, why not skip the ânot-for-beginners stuffâ and go all in? :)
I tried a couple distros on VMs (mint xfce, Manjaro i3âŠ) because I want to eventually resurrect my old laptop and I was trying stuff out.
Tried installing Arch in another VM this year. The regular instructions were complicated and I didnât follow them because too much work. Tried using arch installer and couldnât. Had to install arch installer (???) from the boot command line. But it gave me a keyring error as well. Idk how I solved that but eventually got through.
Then I had it functioning for some days. One day I try to turn the VM back on and it just doesnât boot. Iâm sorry arch, I love you but it wasnât meant to be.
