older laptop distro recommendarion

Recently I’ve gave up Windows for Linux and installed Ubuntu with KDE Plasma desktop on my pc and laptop from 2007. It’s an i7 Intel processor with 8gb ddr ram so I thought it would be fine, but it seems quite sluggish. What distro could I use that would be faster and still fully functional? Thanks for your help in advance.

+1 for Void Linux

admin OP ,

I have a crappy old laptop and I wanted to extend its life and usability by installing a resource light OS on it. I decided on Void Linux and proceeded to try it out in a VM on my MacBook before I installed it on the potato laptop.

I know I could emulate it using UTM but I figured that attempting a chroot installation would be a nice learning experience. I also haven’t seen much guides on it online — especially for aarch64 machines — and figured I could contribute and fill some of the void (pun not intended but very welcome).
