PeppermintOS? I’m trying to prepare an ancient Chromebook C202S for Linux and have had some ideas from antiX to MXLinux and Loc-OS, but it seems that PeppermintOS may be among the best choices.
The tech level of this Chromebook’s end user is unlikely to work well with Arch + BSPWM, which was recommended to me by someone else.

AntiX Linux has been the most efficient distro on my netbook. You gotta be okay without systemd though. For the most part I didn’t need it but some things are highly dependent on systemd to work.
WattOS was good too but AFAIK it’s not actually open source so I couldn’t trust it.

I’m fearfully curious about what these are…
I think Incus was one I had trouble with. It did run without systemd but part of the installation I had to do manually.
Oh, dang, yeah, this machine would definitely not be running that, haha; never heard of it and just now looked it up.
I recently revived a circa-2014 Thinkserver with a core install of antiX, and was pleasantly surprised. I went for the smallest footprint possible by installing only the core distro, and then choosing the packages I wanted/needed.
Hmm… how’s it been?
Excellent from my point of view, however my use case is niche and my installation is headless and as bare bones as it gets.
