  If you still want to try it on a VM, I'd recommend assigning just 1 GB to it, coupled with a lightweight desktop environment, like XFCE (you can use Xubuntu). Source: 11 months ago

• Should I use Ubuntu 16 in 2023?

• on an old budget laptop, what nonessential things can I delete to make Linux Mint run smoother?

  My first choice is always Peppermint OS. Peppermint has worked really well on just about everything I've thrown it on, uses XFCE desktop (generally great for older hardware), and doesn't come with a bunch of stuff preinstalled that you'll not likely use. It's Debian-based, so you'll feel familiar in the environment since you've been using Mint. Source: about 1 year ago

  Consider Peppermint OS, Linux Lite, or maybe even Linux Mint Mate (but avoid the Cinnamon variant, too much overhead on the GPU). Source: over 1 year ago
