Hello!
I am absolutely new to Linux, and to learn this system want to use it on an old Asus TP200s, with these specs:
Intel Celeron N3060 - 1.6 - 2.4 GHz
32 Gb SSD and 32 Gb SDcard
4 Gb RAM
Will this “machine” be able to handle EndeavourOS, or am I limited to stuff like Lubuntu and MX Linux?
Give it a try. I had it on an very old Samsung N150 Netbook with Intel Atom N450, 2 GB DDR2 and 128 GB SSD with Xfce. It “worked” (it was slow but that thing is 15 years old). Just give it a try.
Hello @A_Psaltis and welcome to the - Forum. Give it a try. As the previous speaker already mentioned, use a resource-saving desktop environment such as xfce if possible.
I think you are definitly not limited to these options.
As long as you dont choose a distro that comes packed with a lot of pre-installed stuff (which would leave not much room on your 32Gb drive) or choose a DE like Gnome (you can try but your Celeron wont be very happy about it i assume) you will be mostly fine.
I read around and it seems a few people even got KDE to work on it with EndeavourOS or Arch, but they sadly didnt mention how well it worked
So you can try, but I as well would recommend you choose xfce or LxQT as DE, something that is more lightweight.
Do some research which are your options among “lighrweight” DEs. If the option is not available to you in the installer, you could install without a DE and install your DE of choice later. A bit of knowledge required. And a bit of own work.
