    Dude. I have a 2002 Dell laptop with Mint 16 on it.

    It’s completely unusable. Takes like 10 mins to open a browser. But it fuckin’ works. Its incredible.

      For something that old, you should try Q4OS. It’s a Debian-based distro like Mint, but it’s designed for stability while using the absolute minimum resources.

      I recently installed it on a gateway laptop that’s at least 20 years old. I didn’t try streaming video or anything, but just opening the browser and looking at wikis was a perfectly normal experience. I dare say that laptop is working better now than when it had Windows XP.
