Anyone know minimum requirements to run Ubuntu. The main flavor as well as any other you want to share. Also, suggest any other distrio for a 15 year old laptop. Thanks.

    Ive used Lubuntu on old machines in the age range OP is asking and its great. Turns a 2011 Macbook into a functional machine, had what felt like out-of-the-box performance.

    That being said, the best performance gains from laptops can honestly just be a good cleaning. Cat hair and dust in machines that are hot day 1 can add up and send your CPU into “please help me” mode.
