I bought an old HP chromebook cheap on ebay that came with Zorin OS installed. It isn’t much, but just about manages to do what I need. The trouble is, Zorin seems kind of bloated and the Chromebook hasn’t got much memory. I don’t even have enough space to install updates.
I’m comfortable with running a pared-down OS that might be a better fit for a tired old Chromebook. What might work better than Zorin?


2024, when it was briefly reborn and then re-forgotten.
K. Just making sure you knew of the newer one, since others I’ve talked to on occasion didn’t.
I’d forgotten about TinyCore. Looks like it might be more useable than when I last looked at it many, many moons ago, so I’ll have to put it on my rainy day play around list.
