I inherited an ASUS laptop from 2010. I would like to install and LibreOffice on it for the kids.
Question: which distribution should I use?

@cybersmog 64 bit or 32 bit Cpu?

@hydrian it’s a Core i5-430M currently running with Win 7 64 Bit

@cybersmog I personally don't have experience with it, but I hear Linux Mint is good for people coming from Windows, and Elementary for people coming from Mac. I think Pop_OS might be the best choice, plus I'd imagine it'd be the most appealing to kids

ASP,

@ohnoitsnoah @cybersmog

is always a solid choice! 😎
