older Ubuntu versions are fine tbh, but if you want a modern distro then debian would do the job and it comes with less preinstalled stuff
That's what i was thinking too. Even the newest debian releases support 32bit PCs and Debian is (very) similiar to Ubuntu (because Ubuntu is based on Debian).
Debian over Ubuntu every day. If you ever run into a problem Debain has better documentation. Ubuntus documentation changes by the release. Also other distros wikis generally works on Debian, but not always on Ubuntu
Debian 12 still supports 32bit and with LXQT DE might be a good option or antiX Linux
I second this, debian with LXQT/XFCE would be killer

These cheap laptops from 20 years ago have better keyboards than $3000 laptops today.
Facts
Fr
yes, and now you need to check they have some commercial bs like "military grade" materials and construction or something like that because if not they're made of utter crap now
Right? The only keyboards on semi-modern laptops I can bear are professional line-up Thinkpads. Stuff like consumer HP laptops have SUCH terrible keyboards
@lepeepersauvage I've used those terrible keyboards so much that I've gotten used to them... I can't be bothered getting out an old dusty keyboard from the depths of my tech junk drawer so I'm just gonna bare with the cheap junk of a keyboard on my laptop
that Lubuntu text was errors reporting a corrupted filesystem, i suspect the hard drive may be dying
Even I got the same error in my old system then I researched on internet and somehow managed to fix that
Actually, LXQt desktop is notorious for doing exactly this on basically every distro you install it on. You get exactly one usable session post install, and then after reboot is broken.
@@PPKNexus Oddly nough i have never had this issue with it, the only reason i stopped using the old lubuntu versions is because of how dated it feels to use, sometimes installing software and having to battle in order to find it since it wouldn't automatically appear on the start menu.
So usually i ended up using xfce based distros back then and it was still super snappy
Usually the drive is dying is not though, running fsck will fix the issue(s).
@@PPKNexus actually this is LXDE, LXQt was introduced in Lubuntu 18.10. Anyway LXQt or LXDE has nothing to do with EXT4-fs error / filesystem corruption...
Lubuntu detected a file system error and asked for a fsck, as in a manual disk checkup.
IIRC OpenSUSE still has 32-bit builds, that are up-to-date. Maybe you could try this one.
Debian and Slackware also have their latest releases in both 32 bits and 64 bits.
@@Ptero4 I heared that debain is consdering droping its x86 platform though.
@@darkiceywolf2953 Yes. But it's going to be in the install media only. Upgrading from Debian 12 32bits to Debian 13 32bits will still be possible. It's Debian 14 where they will no longer allow even upgrading the 32bits version.
@darkiceywolf2953 debian 13 (which will release in 2025) will still support 32 bit architectures, and will drop i386 (though that term actually hasn't referred to the actual intel i386 for more than a decade now) 32 bit CPUs, i686 CPUs like pentium M on this laptop should be fine. Either way debian 12 is gonna be supported till 2025.
@thelakeman2538 so your saying there is more then one varient of the 32 bit.
As for the freezing with TH-cam, I think it was more you getting stuck in Swap after you ran out of RAM.
That being said, I'd like to see Puppy Linux on this thing.
My guess was that it was using the poor CPU to decode the video. The GPU might not have support for more modern video codes.
Just discovered your channel while i was browsing random yt vids, i really enjoyed this video and you deserve more subs, keep going with the amazing content and also congrats for 1K subs, i also subbed to your channel since i'm looking for more content :)
Wow, you're pretty close to 1K. Happy to be part of the road!
I'm getting Bringus vibes from your channel, I love it. Keep it up!
This was a real good watch, really damn good job! :3
cute pfp :3
@@neobree thank you! :3
I have Lubuntu (a lightweight official build of Ubuntu) installed on an AMD Turion 64 X2 system from 2007. It works pretty well, especially after a 4 GB RAM upgrade, though 2 GB would have worked as well.
That was so dramatic, I love it!
Especially the part when you turned it on😊
this guy's channel is so underrated... I discovered it recently in my recommended section, and he is an amazing yter.
criminally underrated channel, keep up the amazing work!
I love the cinematic shots at the start.
It'd be really cool to see something like AntiX installed on this laptop because that's where AntiX really shines
antiX does great on a Pentium M. It won't work wonders with video, but it's full featured and very responsive.
You need to try Haiku OS. It's a modern BeOS compatible operating system. It's still in beta but it is pretty functional as is and very lightweight.
Yes! Haiku is awesome!
HAIKU!!!
try it on VM and always get graphic glitch every repository and system update and sometimes the window freeze for no reason, (i still prefer linux over this)
Exactly what i was going to suggest. Haiku is amazing!
@@bnrid8086 Try it on hardware, will be much better, if it works with that hw
Had the same Broadcom issues on similar age Dell Vostro, Broadcom use proprietary drivers (non open-source) so are not included in distros. Seemed an easy fix after a little research, and so I downloaded the necessary files. A card swap avoids the whole issue, well done.
I use to install Windows 8.1 with Classic Shell (adds the Windows 7 Start button) and it worked fine for PCs having dual-core and 4GB of RAM. Windows 8.1 is known for its lower power usage, fast startup and a lower use of RAM than Windows 7 or Windows 10 and it had support until last year.
i like cheese
Honestly base debian would be a much better experience with this hardware, with ironically more updated packages due to them still maintaining a 32 bit release (for now). Aside from that stuff like puppy linux which are meant for this kinda hardware would also be good. DEs like gnome or kde expect 4 gb ram and more importantly a competent 64 bit CPU to run well, especially KDE with all it's fancy effects (which was probably why kubuntu was a terrible experience even with lower ram usage), so sticking to lxqt or xfce is a good idea if you wanna use a full DE, there are far more good options on the window manager side of things.
wondering if (on the windows end) you've tried snappy driver origin to see if it pulls a video driver?
I was running Ubuntu 20 on a dual core Lenovo laptop. When I tried to upgrade to 22 it crashed mid upgrade and i had to reflash my bios. Havent used Ubuntu since.
How the f... can an OS install corrupt the BIOS?
@@BilisNegranot sure honestly. But when it rebooted none of the firmware was working properly. No keyboard, touch pad, DVD drive or HDMI working after it happened. I had to use a different PC to track new copies of all of it before the PC would even boot properly again. I've never seen anything like it.
@@rmcdudmk212 I believe in what you're saying, and have no idea how that could even happen.
@@BilisNegra yeah if I knew what happened I'd be making the big bucks doing IT. 😂
My mom had a similar dell Inspiron 1014 it uses Linux mint xfce and still works well it's only used for data transfer DVD files to USB drives and few browsing on chromium.
AntiX is probably the defacto optimized 32-bit Linux distro and is Debian based.
Netbsd will probably never drop 32-bit support and has a plethora of DE's and window managers that are super lightweight. You can have lxqt (like lubuntu), but there is a ton of even more lightweight options for even older computers (think 486). So you can choose your level of performance/eye candy.
There is a ton of emulators retroarch and mednafen for example, so you could have dedicated system for retro gaming.
The software suite is more mature than Haiku on 32-bit, otherwise Haiku would be a great choice, but the 32-bit software suite is very limited.
I was going to say the same thing about AntiX... I've install it on my own Pentium M laptop.
@@aaaalex1994 pentium M's are nice 32 bit chips. :)
I think Slackware might still continue with the 32 bit support even if Debian will drop it at some point.
@@aaaalex1994 Pentium M's and the whole Yonah architecture are nice 32 bit chips. :)
Lmao first lines on page are "proudly anti-fascist". I want an OS not a political statement
@@spookyghost3209I know a lot of people hear the word "fascist" and think of it as a generic insult, but the maintainer of antix is from greece where there is an actual fascist party. Regardless of if you agree 100% with his politics, I think its fair to give him a pass given his circumstances.
The crash on Ubuntu while watching a TH-cam video was probably because you ran out of RAM. Most distros don't handle low memory availability situations very well.
True
The error was literally right there on the screen. It needed a manual filesystem check.
this person is funny and quite calming to listen
Honestly, given your success with lubuntu, I think your best bet might be to try either Antix, which has XFCE stripped down to the bare essentials to be as lightweight as possible, or the xfce/lxqt version of Debian. And Spiral Linux not only makes downloading Debian with your preferred desktop environment a breeze, but it also is pre-configured to be way more functional out of the box. Kind of like Ubuntu, except without the bloat. There isn't an LXDE version of Spiral, but you can probably make it work with regular Debian. LXQT is basically LXDE, but switching to the QT framework that Kubuntu/plasma uses instead of the GTK framework. You can think of it like a sequel or spiritual successor, but it might not be as lightweight.
I guess the best current beginner friendly option for a 32 bit machine would be Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), or if you feel more adventurous Debian itself
Void Linux with a light desktop like xfce seems to be the best option for old pc's if you want a light fast distro with more cutting edge and casual user mentality than Debian, it also still supports 32-bit.
Or Devuan, which allows you to change the bloated "systemd" to a lightweight "runit" and choose any famous DE, I think LXQt will be a better choice than Xfce for his 32-bit laptop. Also, this distribution has an almost identical Debian package base, which is a significant advantage over Void.
Void documentation is a major turn off for me though. Still, it's great to have it combined with a window manager like i3, but it's a big step up in difficulty compared to Ubuntu, Debian or any of the other popular distros
make sure hardware accel is enabled, that may help with youtube video playback
I have a similar vintage dell laptop with Linux Mint can't remember what version, the best Linux version for older laptops was Linux Mint 9 (and the Ubuntu version it was built on). This version should have been maintained for legacy computers.
You should try a frugal install of Puppy Linux the Latest Version. It can run most Ubuntu apps from the repository, just trim the fat when installing.
Puppy Linux the OS boots and runs in ram. The setup, apps etc are all installed on a frugal file. This is the lightest os you can run, that should work better than Ubuntu, give it a try.
Freetube would probably work better than YT's bloated site
VLC.
The Inspiron 1300 was the first laptop I bought from new, loved it at the time. I recently installed Kubuntu 18.04.5 on a Pentium M760 with an mSata SSD in an IDE adapter, was actually pretty good apart from web use which was almost bearable with Falkon.
If you want to install a modern linux distro for lightweight system, I suggest to avoid systemd based distros. There is a no-systemd web page to check. Also anorger bsd based os would be interesting
Debian with a lightweight desktop like LXQT or IceWM would probably be good. If you want to try without systemD, I've had good luck with Devuan and also tried antiX. If you really want to go lightweight, I've used both 2010-2014 era Puppy Linux and TinyCore Linux on even a probably older Pentium IV Dell laptop, as well as Atom-powered netbooks. There are several flavors of Puppy based on different base distros (Debian, etc.). TinyCore Linux's standard release is 32-bit but has a super-minimal desktop. (There's ARM and 64 bit versions too.)
If you do another video like this give Bodhi Linux a try. They offer a 32-bit non-PAE version based on Ubuntu 18.04. I was able to install Bodhi on a laptop from 2005 that only had 256mb of ram.
I appreciate the usage of Bejeweled Twist music, god tier game and series.
Thats interesting, I have a similar spec machine, a D800 and currently running XP for some retro games. I remember I had ubuntu installed and it just ran terrible but hey, at least your laptop has an intel chipset for graphics unlike mine which is a nightmare under linux to find a fitting nvidia driver.
Part of me wanted to see Ubuntu Mate on this laptop for the nostalgia but honestly I think a nice light Debian install with the Mate desktop would be the best, I'm not totally sure Mate would be better the Lubuntu but it's the desktop I started on with Ubuntu. But with Debian you can maybe get a smaller install, idk it might help with speed but might take a little more work
I had a laptop that looked just like that (don't know if the same model or one in the same family). I didn't have issues with Ethernet on Ubuntu 10.04 back then. Weird...
I searched for 32-bit Linux distros and found that pure Debian, without Ubuntu on top, makes for a more lightweight desktop environment. This would allow applications to run quicker by not overloading resources so easily. This is the best you're going to get, yet still easy to use, install, and update software as needed.
I have it's bigger brother: the Dell Inspiron 2200 (Dothan 730) with 1.25gb RAM. I had to buy a replacement HDD on eBay. And the battery is long gone. Still works fine, complains about PAE when I use a 32-bit Ubuntu distro. I don't remember if the BCM Air Force Wifi Card works. I use it as a retro computer. 😊
The biggest problem I've always had with Linux on old computers is the graphics. Drivers aren't an issue, but opengl support is since the newer opengl support either wasn't around yet or the GPU focused more on directx.
Would you try windows 10 ltsc on that? It's streamlined windows 10
Damn bro what skin did you use to get Ubuntu looking like that
I had to deal with a similar computer (It was a Toshiba Satellite, but same specs basically - a 1.86GHz Pentium M), and of all the up-to-date modern distros that still supported 32-bit, I found MXLinux and Mageia two of the most promising. Mageia is RPM, a bit Fedora-based, and I found it really beginner friendly (had a GUI for just about anything, and it was relatively well translated too), and MX is Debian based. Went with MX Linux in the end and heard no complaints since then. Note that these things will accept an SSD (there are even mIDE ones if you know where to look), which does help a little, though the CPU is the bottleneck in any scenario.
I recommend using Lubuntu. I use a Acer 1810t with 4gb ddr2 and a 128 ssd, plus a driver graphics support. Although, there will be some issues on video playback when on youtube. I also tried LXDE desktop of Debian 12, it works like a charm, other than Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is unusable even though it had drivers installed. But, TH-cam uses its gpu for decoding, a very big step up on that. Oh, I'm still very new to Debian, and other linux distros (I already tried fedora, and linux mint.)
I wrote this comment too fast, but Unity and KDE just a FYI is one of the more demanding Desktop environments, I'd probably go with mate (my love) or lxde/lxqt or xfce. The youtube issue seems weird it shouldn't white screen if bad graphic drivers I'd assume it'd just not play, perhaps you didn't have the codecs installed or grabbing a newer Firefox version would help.
For its integrated graphics card, it is imperative to use the "h264ify" browser extension, which will significantly reduce the CPU load (since its integrated graphics card does not even have hardware support for H264. Otherwise, all the work on video playback could be transferred from the single-core CPU to the GPU in this way).
an fitting way to use the F1 2021 game music
I had a Dell latitude d620 back a little over 10 years ago and I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on it and it ran for the most part but it did have some issues here and there like the Wi-Fi driver would turn off every once in a while and it was annoying.
Lubuntu's Filesystem got corrupted
Have you tried using Either Zorin OS Lite or MX Linux because like the others said these lightweight distributions works better on older Hardware and they're stable for a Beginner
Zorin too heavy
@@wikwayer Then Antix is more suitable for this old Pentium M
I have been using linux for 1.5 years i started with garuda and love it lol, i only copy paste in the terminal when i wanna try something weird that the chaotic aur does not offer, i would recommend it to anyone who has manually modded a game and wants to switch to linux, but i recommend swapping the layout to breeze do get a windows like layout its easy and a preloaded theme
Hey op, try gentoo or some other distro thats optomized
I have a Pentium M 2 GHz and it runs Q4OS with the Trinity desktop pretty well. It’s based on Debian 11.
In Kubuntu, if you go to the system settings and disable compositing it runs WAY faster on low powered systems because it significantly lowers the number and quality of desktop effects.
this just an idea: install arch Linux in it, using the archinstall command makes it so much easier to install and you can follow tutorials, I recommend installing KDE over other desktop environments because I got KDE to run on a chromebook with insanely good fps for it being 2 gibs and 32 gb storage
I've started putting HaikuOS on old machines like this, and it's surprisingly usable.
Would love to see a BSD OS next as they generally are even lighter than linux distros, but they require more technical knowledge to set up
There's even a guy on youtube who ran modern OpenBSD on one of the first Macs, and it worked surprisingly well
try a debian netinst iso, it’ll let you choose different desktop enviormentw and runs ok on really old hardware with the right desktop environment (lxde, lxqt, xfce) or you can torture it (cinnamon, kde)
For even better performance, it is worth using Devuan (based on Debian), which allows you to change the bloated "systemd" to a lightweight "runit" when installing.
I think LXQt is the best choice for this laptop.

This is what I was thinking
Thats what i qas thinking i was the comment that said "i want to see a linux and a hackintosh video"
I had a wifi problem with my inspirion 1546. Idk what's with these specific machines and not having wifi but as soon as I put windows on it, it worked fine
I think it's the proprietary Broadcom wifi drivers they use. I've had this problem with a couple of machine and I switched the Wifi chips and it fixed the problem.
It was. At the time, the workaround was reinstalling bcmwl-kernel-source using apt and a wired connection.
It would have been interesting to see the mate desktop as that is essentially gnome 2 which is what ubuntu would have been using on its main edition back when that computer was new. A video idea would be to try installing ubuntu 7.04 and modern debian(still supports 32bit) and use the mate dekstop. It would be interesting to see the differances. Also there at the end you had corruped the file system. You need to run fsck manually on the 6th partition. I am not sure if the busybox environment has fsck program avalible but you have other ubuntus installed so you could boot to one of those. You would need to run something like fsck /dev/sda6 in the terminal. With some luck it will find and fix some errors and you're back in buisness.
Only way I could see you do better is making a minimal install and then do a build your own distro kind of thing. The biggest issue is the lack of 32 bit support. Essentially ANY 64bit CPU would be just massively better, at the point I would prolly do pure Arch and go with basic XFCE and just install nothing unless you are 100% sure you absolutely NEED it.
Making your own distribution with a minimal installation is somewhat futile for non-corporate use, as there are such excellent distributions that support 32-bit CPUs:
- Q4OS (Trinity);
- Vanilla Dpup;
- Devuan (when installing, it is worth choosing "runit" instead of "sysvinit", this will speed up the process of booting the distribution; as for DE, it is "LXQt").
AntiX works nice on 32bit. And is up to date. Also Kali still maintains a 32 bit and has great wifi support.
very nostalgic ubuntu version
this version and this distro was my first
I think it might still run like crap, but theres a Raspberry Pi OS for desktop. Thats fairly lightweight even on older hardware. It should still work. If you're going to make a 3rd video, its at least worth the shot.
I went with Devuan with mine and even got Minecraft 1.16.5 to work. Some cursed hackery is required such as running the windows version of Minecraft through wine because of missing 32 bit binaries but it does work.

I played with some rather old laptops like your one some months ago. I came to the conclusion that the best up to date distro made exactly for those aging machines is AntiX, a fork of Debian.
I am your 1,000th subscriber
If you have ancient hardware Ubuntu is as bloated as Win 10, I should know as I have a 2011 AMD EEE PC netbook and the only thing I found that would run snappy was Sparky Linux. With Sparky I can run 720p video with only a few dropped frames while Ubuntu chugged worse than Win 10 did.
Honestly, try Linux Mint someday. Heard from even my dad that it's one of those good distros that also can be operated from a live CD/USB.
Linux Mint has stopped supporting 32-bit CPUs.
The closest distributive that is similar in experience to Linux Mint and supports 32-bit CPUs, in my opinion, is "Q4OS".
name of the music at the begining?
at first i was wondering why you were installing 16.04 on it until you said pentium M 735, now i’m quite surprised ANY modern linux distro worked on that lol
my old latitude D400 has the 745 and it runs like garbage even on XP, but that could be due to the slow hard drive and lack of RAM.. sometimes i have to set the resolution down to 640x480 to prevent it from freezing lol
installing any modern operating system on it has been at the very back of my mind ever since i got it but i might just have to re-evaluate..
>i’m quite surprised ANY modern linux distro worked on that lol
I dunno that I'd call Ubuntu 16.04 "modern" at this point. Significantly newer releases of distros (as long as they still support 32-bit) will run "okay" as long as you understand the limits of the system and make sure to use some kind of lightweight desktop. LXQt is probably a sensible option. I'd recommend Arctic Fox as a web browser, and you might even be able to watch youtube using mpv as long as you set the ytdl-format option to have it download H.264 video at 360p30 (maybe even 480p?), I was getting a lot of frame drops doing this on my own Pentium M laptop, but it has a 1.3GHz Banias core, the 745 should be a fair bit quicker.
One potential issue with Intel laptops of this vintage is that while the kernel graphics driver afaik still has full support going back to even earlier Intel Extreme Graphics chipsets, the userspace drivers (from Mesa) that actually handles OpenGL recently dropped support for their oldest drivers. Not sure about the *exact* cutoff which is why I'm just saying it's a potential issue, but if you run into it, you'd have to build the drivers from Mesa's "amber" branch. Otherwise anything using OpenGL will be rendering on the CPU Though even with hardware acceleration fully configured, it looks like you'll be limited to OpenGL 1.3 support. Far from ideal.
Regarding your comment about the slow HDD, you could pick up something like an mSATA to 2.5" IDE adapter/enclosure. It's still going to be slow compared to a modern SSD, but it'd likely be a big improvement and in particular I think it could really make a difference when using swap to offset the lack of RAM. I was thinking of doing this with my Pentium M laptop, but it's just a bit hard to justify since I don't really use the machine for much except to mess around with NetBSD.
If you have an old machine, I'd recommend Lubuntu
If you had Windows 10 on that laptop, then it could likely run Lubuntu.
I had a VM with 3gb RAM and 1 core and Lubuntu was not lagging or screen tearing and I could do web browsing on Chromium fine.
You didn't watch the whole video. He was installing Lubuntu 18.04 (which is the latest version that supports 32-bit processors).
In general, for older PCs, we recommend Devuan (which still supports 32-bit processors) with the following options during installation:
- "LXQt" instead of "Xfce";
- "runit" instead of "sysvinit", which will speed up the process of booting the distribution.
It looks like TH-cam's extremely stupid anti-spam system deleted my comment again, so I'm going to duplicate it again with some changes, just in case.

Whatever you run on it, it will run a million times better with an SSD. It's honestly worth it.
Void Linux lacks systemd, instead opting to use runit which is supposedly much faster to boot up. you can also install whatever desktop environment you want on it, though the only one offered via a live image is an Xfce image (the same DE as xubuntu). however, you can install LXQt on it.
I use void btw.
@@bitwizegod fucking dammit i just did that didn't i
Or Devuan, which allows you to change the bloated "systemd" to a lightweight "runit" during the installation process and choose any known DE, I think LXQt will be the best choice for his 32-bit laptop. Also, this distribution has an almost identical base of Debian packages, which is a big plus.
Now you have to try debian, it still support 32bit and its updated to the kernel 6.1
Imagine having a DVD drive.
I love operating systems that today still manage to bring to life computers from 20 years ago, maybe even the oldest ones.

yes
I think Zorin Lite would be a very good option if you're not so tech-savvy. Otherwise, some Slackware-based distros would be ideal for that beast
Calling 16.04 or 18.04 modern feels disingenuous, both are unsupported and that really makes the title feel disingenuous. That said as a new comer to Linux I can see why you went for older Ubuntu, I did the same thing for 32-bit devices in my starter days to. This is still a great video, I just really don't like the title.
Not with Ubuntu Pro, heck even Ubuntu 14.04 is still supported but only until this April
I prefer Debian over Ubuntu. When I tried to install Debian on my 2011 Mac Book Pro, it would boot but I had no WiFi (broadcom) and the graphics only worked for the installer. The only way I could use it was from the Shell through SSH from another computer. I couldn’t find any help online but A LOT of people asked the same questions about the WiFi and graphics on Mac Book Pros with no usable help. I finally installed Ubuntu. The graphics and WiFi worked with no problems. Since Raspberry Pi OS has a 64 bit version, they’ve released an intel version for Macs and PCs. It’s only 32 bit for this version. The install failed on the Mac.
Aaaa the wii weather channel music st like 5:30 and around then just is so goooodddd
I also put lubuntu on an old laptop one thing that made all the difference was using an ssd
I've had luck with PopOS and video drivers, Ubuntu is so bloated now, it use to me my go to for low end laptops but now its just as slow as windows most of the time on slow hardware, unless you want to go with old version
I suggest one
- Linux Mint (mostly stable)
You can also dualboot with Clover, gives you a unique feel of dual booting with default boot with time if you wish to jump back to Windows / Linux.
yeah I use mint xfce to resell older systems xfce is great for older laptops, 2010s era at least
@@couldnt.really.say. exactly, xfce is pretty much optimized for those old laptops in that era of WinXP/Vista so it pretty much gives enough longevity to use it for many tasks.
Arch linux is a stable OS if he wants to use it. However pearOS Nightc0re uses Arch Linux, so it does not matter if he uses Ubuntu or pearOS, he'll still be using linux which goes well with the laptop he's using.
