Which Linux Distribution I need?

Question

Well guys, I was thinking about changing my OS from my computer. My computer runs Wnidows 7 Home Basic, but it runs it very slow. I'm interested in learning how to use a console, and, I want a distro which I can use the console for daily use but with a lot of programs can I install (for example: Mozilla Firefox). And well, Which programming language is needed to any distro? Or is different in each one? (Sorry for grammar mistakes. I'm learning English)

Answer 1

U can use Ubuntu 16.04 it's a good version for low specs computers... Even I have used it... 18.04 is latest but it needs high specs pc

Answer 2

Another option could be to use an application called virtualbox (there are others but I have been using virtualbox) . It can be installed on windows and allows you to create a virtual machine with a Linux OS using your computer resources. It will help you to get used to using Linux. You can learn a lot this way and make as many mistakes as you want (or don't want). You can easily start over and create another instance as required. Either way you will learn a lot by doing it. Then when you are more familiar with a Linux OS, you can decide which distro to install as a replacement for your Windows OS.

Answer 3

Compare your machine's parameters to the minimum requirements of each distribution.

What can I recommend for weaker machines:
Linux LIte
Xubuntu
