    since you’re a noob, idk if this will be very helpful to you, but

    i used debian with awesomewm on an old pentium 4 from 2004-2005 and it was pretty fast! like a modern low-end computer. but you’d have to configure it to be noob-friendly/have patient users. i don’t mind it cuz i enjoy tinkering, but i imagine it could be very frustrating for other people.

    i’d give you my awesomewm config (i configured it to be super minimal, but also familiar, as i was trying to create a desktop environment that could be used on older machines), but unfortunately my desktop no longer has a power supply, so i can’t access it :')
