SparkyLinux.

Installed OOTB without any problems on this 2007 desktop computer pieced together from spare parts.

All software additional software installed from Debian Buster repository's with the exception of Firejail which I downloaded from Sourceforge.

Here's SparkyLinux Xfce installed on the same desktop computer OOTB without problems.

I'll keep this install because I like Xfce better than LXQT user interface / desktop.
