    I just got this laptop and do not know how much RAM does Windows 10 use but I know Ubuntu 32 bit uses 400 mb of RAM. I only need this laptop for internet and some simple games that are on steam like cs1.6 and Stronghold. And if it is better to install Ubuntu should I install 32 bit or 64 bit ? Because of RAM I know it is better to use 32 bit but because of cpu I think 64 bit is better.
    Your Celeron® Processor N2830 is 64 bit, so a 64 bit OS would handle memory better.

    Ubuntu(or any Linux) would fare much better on that laptop, over W10.

    You should check on whether you can upgrade your RAM, that would be most desirable.

    I've just installed 18.04 on a laptop with an N2840 and 4GB and it's running well. Better than 16.04.

    You could try elementary OS, it's lightweight distro.

    Hello,
    Its depend on you If you want your system simple, user friendly then you go to windows, and if you want to use command for every single work then you use Ubuntu.Both OS works well with 2 GB Ram and intel celeron processer N2830 32 bits.
