I have an old thinkpad with a duo core and 4gb of Ram that came with Windows 8 Stock. It still has the old Windows 7 build I replaced the base system with, but I'm playing with Linux Distros now. Mint on xkde gets me good performance, but I'm finding it limited in terms of trying to get things set up the way I want. Namely, I'm having a hard time replacing with window managers and default terminal. I hope replacing my shell commands won't be hard either. I'm only a day in since having dropped Linux in Highschool.
