Hello. I’m planning on getting a little Lenovo ideapad duet 3i for general media creation n consumption. Emphasis on being able to sketch.
I want to replace win 11 s (default os) on it with a Linux distro. I heard that gallium is nice n lightweight (designed to run on Chromebooks, …which is also related cus the other computer consideration is an ideapad duo Chromebook… and these computers are very comparable.) Are there any other lightweight distros I should consider? I’m also worried about being able to run windows programs like CSP (main drawing program). N games n other things. Also would this mess up the pen-touch drivers/systems?
(Note: I know little about computer systems. And this is my first time actually setting up Linux)
I don’t know what software you plan on using to create media, but the Duet 3i isn’t a powerful machine, and it may struggle to do media creation
Either way, a solid distro for pretty much any hardware and experience level is Mint XFCE
it seems to be the lightest mint? looks interesting. theres also middle mate mint… hm. in terms of making media… choniest program to go on it would be csp (mayb flstudio if i actually get it). others tend to be light, like pxtone, audacity, mugen, renpy, old rpg makers… i tend to draw non resource heavy art in csp as well… so im sure its good enough… i hope.
