Linux Lite 7.4
In June 2025, I installed Linux Lite 7.4 on a 2007 laptop, replacing the hard drive with a SATA ST916082 1AS (3.2 GB).
The laptop didn't support this hardware configuration, especially the browser, any downloads, etc.; my session would crash, and I'd log out with data loss.
After several months of daily driver, firmware, and other updates, not only does the operating system handle large amounts of data without a hitch, but it does so as quickly as modern computers.
Thank you, guys, for your professionalism and enthusiasm!
