Choosing an OS for my 2012 Acer TravelMate B113-M Netbook. Help please.

Question: Most lightweight Linux Distro with the biggest support community available for 2018? I am torn between Lubuntu and Xubuntu? Are there any others and what should I choose? Full Specs are here: https://www.cnet.com/products/acer-t...-gb-hdd/specs/ NOTE: I replaced the RAM and filled them up to 8GB and the 500GB HDD was replaced with a 120GB Patriot SSD yesterday.

Basically you can run any linux. With 4G of ram you can run any *buntu, My preference is xubuntu over lubuntu. More polished, less buggy.

with those specs i would use Kubuntu

yes any distro is fine. you can also install barebones and add only a windows manager like icewm if you need it as light as possible.

Which if these three has a more active community of users? Xubuntu, Lubuntu or Kubuntu?

[mastablasta]

All are very active. maybe Xubuntu and Kubuntu have more users. Hard to say.

you can also explore the Ubuntu based Linux Mint. very good start in linux.

I am actually an experienced user on Ubuntu derived OS's. I just wanted to know which of those three distro's has a more active community and dev team.
