Best system for old laptop (netbook)

[pogasta93]

Hello, my friend has an old netbook (he is still using it i dont get why), but performance is too low that even Windows XP is hard to run there. It has like 1GB ram and some realy shit processor. He asked me if i can do something about that. So I would like to ask you, is there any Linux distribution i can run on old PC like that and have better performance than with Windows XP? I think there could be some, Thanks for you answers

Hello pogasta93

Installing an operating system on a computer and its performance majorly depends on the processor and RAM that the computer has.

Since the exact specification of the processor is available, Puppy Linux or VectorLinux could be of some help.

Let me know any further assistance is needed. Good Luck!!
