I want to revive an old Lenovo laptop with an AMD A6 2.6GHz and 4GB ram, what would be the best option for a DE?

@Crying4625 If you don't mind use Xorg, go with XFCE
I personally prefer LXQT, specially since Wayland development is already work in progress

I was debating myself between those 2. I like xfce, and they announced recently that they have plans to move to Wayland but maybe I'll give LXQT a try to see what it is like. Thanks for the answer

I think XFCE has way more themes etc. Both are extremely themable though.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
