This is my sister’s old PC and I want to bring it back to life. But it seems to struggle even on lightweight distros.

It’s an HP All In One 19-2114 with following specs.

CPU: AMD E1-2500 @ 1.4GHz with integrated Radeon HD 8240

RAM: 4GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz single channel

Storage: Samsung EVO 1TB SSD

The Radeon gives me headaches as it has screen tearing on Linux and fails to boot on Haiku unless I choose fallback graphics

    I haven’t heard anyone talk about puppy Linux in a bit. That used to be the go to for ultra lightweight setups.
