It’s an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I’m reinstalling the OS, I thought I’d ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.

    See if you can get the memory upgraded. DDR3 SO-DIMMs should be dirt cheap.

    I’d also get a cheap SSD aswell, especially if this is for a child who might not be very careful with the machine.

      Hmmm yeah I hadn’t thought about upgrading the laptop, that’s a big idea, and indeed it should be super cheap
