Which is the best os for old cpu??

Question

Guys which is the best operating system for old cpu??

Answer 1

Use a Linux based OS, with a lightweight DE (xfce, lxde,...). You should also see if the distribution provides a minimal installation.

Apart from that, it does not really matter if it is Ubuntu-based, Debían-based or Arch-based, in your case.

Answer 2

Use linux base os like linux mint, ubuntu or fedora

Answer 3

You can use lubuntu Or unbuntu Or any other light weight linux distro.

But remember don't use kali linux

Answer 4

Answer 5

This is true that you cannot install any supported version of Windows on legacy hardware. What you should try are Linux distros made for old hardware, which are regularly updated. So at first, it depends upon your hardware.
If you are running on below 2 gb Ram, I suggest you Kubuntu.
If you're running under 1 gb, I suggest you Lubuntu. If you are on 512 mb ram, I suggest you Raspbian (Although it's made for Raspberry pi, a compaitable Debian based iso is available for legacy hardware). In some cases, if you are on below 256 mb ram, you should install Slax. In rare cases, if you are on 64-128mb ram, you should use Slitaz Linux. And, in the last, our hope is only Tiny Core Linux, which can run on as little as 8 mb ram.
