Blast from the past.
I still run an old 32-bit version of LXLE on an ancient Asus Eee netbook (2009 BIOS) and it continues to works reasonably well in 2023 (and on the original battery). Of course the repositories fail and software updates are not available. But I can do what I want with it and love the interface.

As it is an old version, listing the cons might be irrelevant, such as playing a stuttering HD video MP4 in VLC or struggling for a large pdf to load but that is to be expected. It does the job and I can always run FLDIGI, minesweeper and solitaire if I get bored. I'm only an amateur Linux user but I like LXLE for running on something which would otherwise be in the skip.

I rate a 10 because I had no problems installing and configuring the distro. Nice looking in every way. Software reinstalled is exactly what I wanted; no bloat. I have tried many distros - I am a hopped. I think I will stand on Lxle or a while. I know that the software is not the very latest as on Manjaro but to be hones I can not tell the difference. Most software update are very incremental anyway. I would recommend Lxle to a beginner in Linux but a more advanced user would be satisfied. Need to try it.

My favorite distro for old 32-bit machines. I also like it for new hardware. Subjective, yes, but I just like the speed, clarity and simple elegance of his distro and desktop. I am not a gamer so I don't know how it would do in that regard. I keep trying to distro hop away from it but it just keeps me coming back.

My reason for giving it a 9 instead of a 10 is its software store while quite broad in scope, is quite outdated. But then again, I rarely use the software stores on any of the distros.
