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?

    There is no such thing as a “beginner distro”. There are distros that need little to no intelligence to set up and maintain. Arch needs you to read and follow instructions. It is a myth that it is impossible for beginners to use Arch. There are several good installations instructions in the wiki, select one and follow it till the end.

    There are also plenty of Arch derivates that preconfigure the system for you.

      You’re way too deep in the linux world lol.

      There are distros that need little to no intelligence to set up and maintain.

      One might call that… suited for beginners.
