I bought an old HP chromebook cheap on ebay that came with Zorin OS installed. It isn’t much, but just about manages to do what I need. The trouble is, Zorin seems kind of bloated and the Chromebook hasn’t got much memory. I don’t even have enough space to install updates.
I’m comfortable with running a pared-down OS that might be a better fit for a tired old Chromebook. What might work better than Zorin?
When was the last time you checked on DSL?
2024, when it was briefly reborn and then re-forgotten.
K. Just making sure you knew of the newer one, since others I’ve talked to on occasion didn’t.
I’d forgotten about TinyCore. Looks like it might be more useable than when I last looked at it many, many moons ago, so I’ll have to put it on my rainy day play around list.
Yeah it looks to me like TinyCore is either made by the same guy as DSL, or uses a substantial number of components from DSL. Either way, it feels very familiar to anyone who’s used DSL in the past, so I consider it a spiritual successor.
