That's fine, we pretty much only use Java Minecraft around here

@Flux
The most demanding thing the one needs to do is play Minecraft (Java), other than that just email and web browsing, it's mostly a backup laptop
The other one is for playing mp3s and streaming music

@mast0d0nphan
Oh this is really interesting. . .

@boelder
Because of AI stuff?

@gangrif
Haha, yeah that's what I am expecting...

The spare Minecraft laptop has 2.2 GHz Intel i5, with 8 GB RAM

The music laptop is 1.35 GHz AMD with 4GB RAM

They’re pretty low powered laptops, even for their age. One is used mainly as a music player (streaming and mp3s) and the other is mostly a backup laptop, and for Minecraft if the kid has a friend over.
I used to have some Ubuntu machines back in the 2010s, but I’ve been out of the loop on Linux since I no longer live or work with a bunch of Linux knowers.
I’ve heard good things about Mint? Is that a good one for old, underpowered laptops?

Asking Mastodon: Boost for More Reach

Mastodon, I need your Linux knowledge and opinions.
I have some old Windows laptops that aren’t supported anymore and I want to put Linux on them to keep them running, which kind should I use?
