I’m trying to decide on a distro for my n100 mini pc. It’ll be for watching content, browsing the web, using discord And playing music. I have Garuda running in it right now just as a tester to see how it did at emulation and honestly it ran 3DS games pretty swell lol. But it feels very bogged down overall. Anything really light weight that will feel a bit snappier?

      I actually tried and failed lol. Some of the commands in the start guide weren’t functioning for me and I’m lazy. Went with endeavouros

              Yup got it all sorted. My setups a pain though. I bought ffxiv through their launcher not steam. So now to find a way to remote play lol. I’m running nobara 40 with the cachyos kernel on the host and sunshine didn’t seem supported yet. 😥

    It’s a contemporary 4 core processor. It can run anything.

    Heck, my 8gig 2010 MacBook with a core duo runs gnome on Debian without any issues.
