Yes you’re correct

Linux have many, many distributions (or distro for short). Some too powerful, others pretty light and less demanding. And if you want to keep using an older desktop or laptop or you want to keep using your older desktop or laptop but they can’t be updated to the latest Windows version and their current version is now outdated, a lightweight Linux distro like Linux Mint or MX Linux or Linux Lite is the best way to go.

I’ve been using Linux Mint XFCE since this February and I’m really enjoying it a lot since they’re great and I’ll definitely be sticking with it for decades.

@ghostofbarrybutler I understand that, but installing applications is actually not an issue for me, since Linux Mint already came with an app store of sorts called Software Manager and I managed to download a handful of apps I wanted from there.
