    Define “decent”.
    I tend to recommend Linux Mint, it’s pretty easy to grasp for noobs (i’ve installed on two of my family’s laptops, no complaints). Zorin OS also seems nice.

      I don’t know, I don’t know much about hardware. A gaming laptop from 5 years ago. Still usable today, ran windows 11. I only upgraded because I flooded the keyboard and it stopped working.

      I will try that Mint, seems nice.

        You can “flash” the installer file on a USB drive and boot from it to test it out without installing (it’ll be slower though).
