After years of Windows and disliking Apple when I change the hard drive in my 2012 8GB ASUS I am going to install Linux. The ASUS currently uses USB-Puppy Linux 6.3.0 Slacko 32-Bit since the hard drive is apparently shot.
I would like one that does not update unless you allow it, is not too much like Puppy Linux, and is 64-Bit but works well with 32-Bit software.
I would likely install it via CD, but if anyone knows of another way, great!
As I am fairly new to Linux itself can anyone give me any recommendations to start with? I only have a few minutes left here but the ASUS is also 64-Bit, has two processors and runs at 2.4GHz, is pretty powerful.
If "true" Linux is even better than Puppy then given what Puppy Linux can do and how well the 32-Bit distros run Windows software via WINE then it will be a good choice indeed.
Thanks in advance!
