It's a great distro for old PCs and notebooks: simple and works fine! The bootload is fast. I try this distro in an old notebook (Aspire E1-571 with 8GB Ram) and works fine and stable for developing with Node.js and React.js.
Others test that I have done was with Zorin OS Lite, but the Linux Lite works better. The UI it has good feedback when you need to run or switch to a new program. The snap is available and it simplifies install packages and softwares.
About UI: this distro isn't beautiful but isn't ugly as well. You can personalize all you want, and dark theme is available - I love dark themes.

I received a Lenovo S340 laptop with defected ram and ssd. I attempted to install Windows 10 and 11 on it and got blue screens and boot loops at different points during the installations. Next, tried Zorin and Elementary. Installed successfully. Both were usable but hung up on daily basis. Then I tried Fedora and Linux Mint. Again, both were usable but hung up on weekly basis, especially when when using Chrome.
Finally, I tried Linux Lite. It works like magic. It has been very stable for more then six months.
I tried it on my cousin's defected computer. It works smoothly without any problems.

Linux Lite is a lightweight and user-friendly operating system based on Ubuntu that can run on low-end hardware. After testing it on your laptop, here is my review of Linux Lite.
Firstly, the installation process was straightforward and fast. The system requirements are very low, and it runs smoothly on your laptop. The desktop environment is very similar to Windows 7, which makes it easy for Windows users to adapt to it. Additionally, the menu is organized, making it easy to find installed applications.
In terms of software, Linux Lite comes with many pre-installed applications that are essential for everyday use, such as the Firefox web browser, LibreOffice, and GIMP image editor. There is also a Software Center where you can find and install additional applications.
Another significant advantage of Linux Lite is its stability and security. The system is updated regularly, and there is a built-in firewall that adds extra protection to your laptop. Furthermore, the interface is simple and straightforward, which makes it easier to navigate and reduces the risk of errors or crashes.
Linux Lite also has good hardware support, and most drivers are pre-installed. However, some proprietary drivers may need to be installed separately, depending on your hardware configuration.
The system performance is impressive, even on low-end hardware. It boots up quickly and runs smoothly without any lag or delays. Additionally, it does not consume too much system resources, making it ideal for older laptops or computers with limited hardware specifications.
In terms of customization, Linux Lite provides many themes and icon sets to choose from, and you can customize the desktop environment to your liking. There is also an option to install additional desktop environments if you prefer something different.
Overall, Linux Lite is an excellent operating system for older laptops or computers with limited hardware specifications. It is user-friendly, stable, secure, and provides many pre-installed applications. It also has good hardware support and impressive system performance. I highly recommend Linux Lite to anyone looking for a lightweight, user-friendly, and stable operating system.
