Revive your old PC with Linux in 2026. I tested lightweight distros, zram tuning, SSD upgrades, and browser optimization on a 2014 ThinkPad to show you exactly what works.
Yep, and there are leaner, better Linux distros as well. Void Linux outperforms all of the author’s picks on older hardware, and there are also the BSDs to consider. Hell, even MX Linux (based on antiX) would be better than anything Ubuntu based.
