1) Which distros have you tried?
2) Why are they not good?
3) What is your level of expertise with Linux.
4) The best distro is the one YOU like and which suits YOUR computer.

You are 19 years old....get your act together and supply some detail.

OK here's the processor you have and it's 64 bit.
https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...ore-i3-3110m-processor-3m-cache-2-40-ghz.html
However you show only 2048MB of memory which is 2.0GB memory which is going to severely limit your Linux choices.
If possible I suggest upgrading to at least 4.0 GB of memory.
At the moment with your current specs create a bootable usb and try this Linux distro.
https://mxlinux.org/
Go to page 10 of the link below and have a look at the how to section Installation.
https://mxmanuals.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/user_manual_mx19/mxum.pdf
Download links.
https://mxlinux.org/wiki/detailed-iso-list/
Choose Original Releases 386 (32 bit) because of your limit of 2048MB of memory.

You are correct @arochester according to the processor spec sheet.

So let my reply :
WHAT do you want ?
What is necessary?
With the answer to this questions you can find a distribution which is the best for you , OR ask a search engine. So I found Porteus LINUX for my nice little old dell laptop, with ONLY 800 Mhz and 256 MB of main memory. Now I will install and test this one. . .
I hope this helps you a bit ❤

@Nelson Muntz -- then the definition exempts you!"curmudgeons"

It sounds like they hurt when being expelled from the body! (But that may be a curmudgeonly commment!)
Urban Dictionary says, "a common mispelling (sic) of asbergergers" -- probably more 'suitable' in this instance, as in a wizard's suit (you know, with stars on it signifying the pain).
@wieselflink --
OP, lehuyducanh (there's more to the handle than meets the eye) most likely will not reply.

Hello Duc Anh and welcome to linux.org
For the benefit of other Members providing input so far, Duc Anh Le Huy is from Vietnam if I am correct, and so likely his first language is not English, further, we do not know how readily he can get a hold of more RAM, nor what expenses are involved.
So go easy on the New Member, and keep all the wisecracking to a bare minimum, please. And speak clearly without jargon or lingo.
Duc Anh, your best option is to do a bit of reading, and then to try them from a USB stick.
Here are 3 sites, all current/up-to-date which may assist.
Obviously you may wish to exclude any mentioned that are among those you have tried.

the only question i would ask is how you tried Linux distro, my approach is via booting Linux live OS from usb. Is that one of teh approaches you have done ?
