Debian Stretch should work fine if you max out the RAM, which you should be doing anyway.

Jordan Flores

Noah Price
this or pretty much any other distro with minimal installation and using no DE

Tinycore. For bonus performance, decompress the initrd image and set it to unload the initrd from RAM after the system has booted.

Lubuntu or LXLE will run fine on it.

I use this OS on my old PC: Pentium 3 800EB, 512MB SDRAM, ATI 4650 1GB DDR2, 64GB SSD and runs fast as fuck. Intel's ME can suck it. If you hate SystemD, use Devuan Netinstall ISO and choose a lightweight desktop

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Dont buy old thinkpads, they are a waste your time and effort, they should be scrapped for parts, go and buy a new computer, preferable Acer as they are more environmentally friendly, buy one thats useful and can serve you a purpose in life
Hunter Anderson
Preferably a recycling bin to prevent ewaste.
