G+_Ron Nichols Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Tough question because every Linux distro I've ever run was extremely efficient. That said, for your application, I would suggest looking into Arch. https://www.archlinux.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ron Nichols Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I've never used LXLE but a friend reccomends. http://lxle.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Marsh Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 +1 for Lubuntu. LXLE is a customized version of Lubuntu, that I'd not heard of until Ron Nichols mentioned it. Give either a shot and let us know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ron Nichols Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 And if you do go with Arch, have a look at TLP. http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/tlp.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
