</span>Anything with a WM instead of DE. I suggest Manjaro as it's Arch rolling<br>
release philosophy managed under Debian style package repository versioning,<br>
try the Fluxbox, JWM or PekWM flavour from here:<br>

In the first one, I have installed Xubuntu, that's a very light OS, but after replace it with Manjaro with XFCE [1], I noticed that the machine never crashes, and I don't got more problems with broken dependencies as I had with DEBs.<br></div><div><br></div><div>In the second machine I replaced Linux Mint with Manjaro (with XFCE too), and Manjaro is as light as Mint, however IMHO Majaro's GUIs are more intuitive and clear than Mint.</div><div><br></div><div>Some days ago I tested Manjaro with KDE, and I'm suprised with its GUI quality and stability, probable I'll replace the Windows 10 (I need it to use Delphi Seattle here in the company) of my development machine to use Manjaro KDE, moving Windows to a VM.</div><div><br></div><div>But I have a personal suggestion: try to test at least three popular Linux distributions, I tried six (*Ubuntu[I hate Unity], Fedora[nice, but...], openSUSE[very nice, but hard for my environment], FreeBSD[very fast for my environment, but...], CentOS[nothing to declare] and ArchLinux[perfect with Manjaro customizations]) in a VM with same reqisities of my two real basic machines, so the VM showed me a similar scennario of the real environment, and this test helped me a lot to choose the ideal distribution for my real machines.</div><div><br></div><div>Good luck! :-)</div><div><br></div><div>ps. Take a look at this two pictures [2][3], there is Lazarus running on Manjaro KDE. In my case it prefer to install it from a package manager instead of using external third party scripts, and in Manjaro I just did "# pacman -S lazarus-qt" to install FPC 3.0.0 and Lazarus Qt 1.4.4.</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://manjaro.github.io/" target="_blank">https://manjaro.github.io/</a></div><div>[2] <a href="https://img42.com/B9Y5b" target="_blank">https://img42.com/B9Y5b</a></div><div>[3] <a href="https://img42.com/U3hnt" target="_blank">https://img42.com/U3hnt</a></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Silvio Clécio</div></div></div>
