Hey guys, I need some help. I'm new to the Linux world and want to install it on my laptop, but I don't know which distro is lightweight and fast. By the way, my laptop is an HP 14s-dk1002ax with an AMD Athlon Gold 3150G CPU, Vega 3 iGPU, and Radeon 530 dGPU. Any recommendations for a distro? Thanks in advance.
Looking for the best distro for my HP 14s-dk1002ax laptop, which has an AMD Athlon Gold 3150G CPU, Vega 3 iGPU, and Radeon 530 dGPU.
- Thread starter Athx.
- Start date
I would be inclined to keep it to a medium or light distribution, Mint-LMDE, Mx -Linux, Linux -Lite, Debian with xfce desktop to name just a few

I'd say it depends on your RAM Limit, But the distros above do work well from what I've heard and seen on here.
I'd personally recommend MX+Fluxbox WM, As it's not too far from a full desktop, but I have known it to run on my old Inspiron' With a Pentium and 2 GB ram and still be able to use it (Albeit, that 2GB RAM is a big Bottleneck.) but it might bee seen as a little more complicated than Mint.
Otherwise, LMDE or Mint XFCE should be fine if you got more RAM to spare.
