I’ve got an old laptop I wanted to use to play with Linux.
Its spec is not super performant so I decided to install a lighter version than Ubuntu and came across Xubuntu.

This is what I did to get Xubuntu up and running:

  1. Downloaded Xubuntu on my Mac from here

  2. Created a Live USB with balenaEtcher

  3. Booted my old laptop from USB storage (F12 on startup to enter the BIOS boot menu)

It took about 30 mins to install the distribution and that was it :)
