Ok so I need some options...
I have a Hp pavilion g7-2269wm that is 8yrs old and having issues. I had Ubuntu and got sick of it, switched to mint but then decided to go the Arch route so I switched to Manjaro....BIG MISTAKE....NIGHTMARE! So I switched back to mint. It was a nightmare though.
My issue now tho is even tho my laptop is a quad core with 64bit architecture it REFUSES to load or install 64 bit. I had to install Mint 19.2 32bit which worked but it updated to 19.3 which is 64 and now it'll boot to the logo and then die.
I am sooooooooo sick of the BS. I get it, old computer, but with 64bit shouldnt it load 64bit? Not only that it took an act of congress just to get the USB live to even load to install mint. Its like manjaro fought me so I wouldnt remove it and now mint is making me regret changing it lol
What is a good light weight distro for a 64bit laptop that acts like a 32 bit....like seriously, I'm over it. I dont even care if it can run NASA and I'm not utilizing its full potential......if it wants to act like a 32 bit baby it'll get treated like a 32 bit baby. Sorry for the rant but I need it lol
Xubunu? Lubuntu? Elementary? Suse?
