       Any suggestions for a distro suitable for 32 bit old notebook with 2 GB ram?I installed Antix and it runs okay but Netflix streaming is very very bad.I also tried to use Zorin OS but WiFi didn't work.

       @aseem Normally I would suggest Lubuntu or Peppermint OS but with those specs I doubt streaming will be smooth on any distro.

       @aseem @PublicNuisanceI'd suggest trying Xubuntu or MX Linux. It's probably Netflix itself that will bottleneck you on any distro, because there are no real alternative clients.But streaming 720p YouTube (VLC) or Twitch (streamlink) without a browser would probably do okay.More reasons for piracy...

       Note that the laptop will be used by a person of age 60 who has always used Windows.

       @dowodenum @PublicNuisance Yes. YT works just on the brink of fine. Piracy is great but the laptop will be used by an old person who wants ease of access through Netflix.

       @aseem Might be better off getting an SBC with DietPi + Kodi, but good on you for trying to keep old hardware going.

       @aseem i think poppy linux still has 32-bit and most of the drivers should work.

       @aseem Pepermint os is my go to for stuff like this. For streaming I reccomend a raspi with Kodi. Netflix and many other services are streamable now
