Hi all
I have an old Asus Eee PC netbook. It's been running lubuntu since 2014 but has been largely unused for the past few years. I've read recently that, contrary to what Asus says, it IS possible to upgrade RAM and memory on this device and other users report that it then runs much faster. So, that was my plan.
It booted up ok, warned me about updates and then, after updating, failed to boot - it just sits with a blank screen which appears to flash between off and lit, but always blank.
So, I tried to flash boot it, but the flash disk I have now has 64bit system on it, so was rejected. In order to rescue this netbook I will need to install a 32bit system on it.
Which is the best currently available distro to use? Am I best to stick with lubuntu? What will be the situation with updates/upgrades for 32 bit systems? I went to the lubuntu page but when choosing 32 bit, the latest I can get is 18.04.
Any advice much appreciated.
