A dev friend wants to start taking steps away from Windows, starting with their old laptop.
The laptop has 4 GB ram, and an 8th gen i3 CPU, and they mostly will use it to program.
Some have recommended them Lubuntu. Would that be a good choice?
Thanks!
Edit: yeaaah. Definitely away from Windows, not Linux. Time for lunch.
TBH Ubuntu Gnome would probably also run alright, but ram increase would definitely be advised for coding. Some language servers and compilers can really eat ram almost like Google Chrome (supposedly i never used it).
Thanks for the suggestion!
The RAM is unfortunately welded.
