[QUOTE="RodrigoDavy, post: 5885725, member: 273591"] One month ago, I hadn't use any distros other than Ubuntu and Linux Mint. You've used Debian so I guess you're more experienced than I was. Before going on explaining a little about how Arch works by letting the user suit the SO to their specific needs, I'll give you an easy route. Ubuntu Mate should work fine in most low-end laptops, if you don't feel comfortable with Arch just yet, try Ubunt Mate. Back to Arch... about running in a low end laptop, it really depends. Arch doesn't come with a GUI or many pre-installed packages for that matter, so you have to make decisions about what you're going to use. The setup you make is going to define whether or not your Arch system will run fast on your laptop. Let me give you a rather extreme example to make my point, I have a Raspberry PI which has a 700 MHz ARMv6 CPU and 256MB of RAM. I had Arch Linux installed and I wanted to choose a GUI. Since the RAM was a very limiting factor, I couldn't use something like Unity, KDE or Gnome. So I researched GUIs until I chose Mate which has many funcionalities and consumes about 40/50 MB of RAM, enough to have some spare RAM for other applications. I also had to choose other applications that are lightweight enough to not eat all the resources. I chose Dillo for a browser because it was the only one the PI managed to run smoothly. Of course, you're laptop is probably much more powerful than my Raspberry PI so you wouldn't need to be as picky with applications. But you're gonna need to know what you're doing otherwise you might end up with a bloated SO that your laptop can't handle. [/QUOTE]
