A few years ago, LXLE was my distro of choice for older hardware.

I haven’t used it in a while, and now I’m trying to revive an HP Stream (AMD/4GB RAM/32GB SSD).

Anything else I might want to try first, or is LXLE still considered good for lightweight/feature rich?

    Yes, use what you know. Neither LXLE nor LXDE are end of life as claimed in other comments. The latest LXLE release is supported until 2030, which is five years longer than Windows 10.

      I tried installing LXLE - and in spite of multiple attempts, it simply refuses to install the boot files into the boot partition. 🤣

      So I suppose it’s getting a different flavor, after all
