I have an old Subnotebook (at least 10 years old I think) which runs Windows 7 atm. I would like to run Linux on it. I‘m a Linux noob, but would like to try and learn a few things. Any recommendations?

    Void Linux. It doesn’t have the heavy SystemD, starts off with a simple XFCE environment.

    Not to mention the incredibly fast XBPS package manager.

        For a beginner, maybe not. But I’d probably suggest it over something like Arch just because of the excellent installer, amazing community and healthy ecosystem of packages.
