Single-core Intel Atom CPU: best adapted lightweight distros for this? - m654321 - 08-06-2019
My Samsung netbook (single-core dual-threaded CPU [email protected]) listed in my signature below, runs too slowly with 64-bit LL 3 & 4 series to make this worthwhile. However, it's the same story with other 64-bit OSes, like Manjaro-xfce which is currently installed on it. Does anyone have any ideas on what distros would run smoothly with a single core Intel Atom CPU, like the one I have? Combing the internet, I have seen Puppy Linux suggested, while others recommend a 32-bit xfce desktop system, even though it has a 64-bit architecture.
I was wondering what your thoughts were on this, here at the LL forum ...

I don't think this question belongs on this site. It is better placed on a generic site like Linux Questions. Discussing other distros here is somewhat disrespectful. I know this is not your intention, simply a minor slip.

Perhaps this isn't an OS or processor problem. I don't know how fast you expect things to be. But perhaps you have a slow drive. I wouldn't be surprised if your netbook has a 5400 RPM hard drive. If so, consider upgrading it to 7200 RPM, or better yet consider upgrading it to a solid state drive (SSD). See how fast Linux Lite runs on your single core, dual threaded PC then.
