I'm looking for recommendations on which Linux operating system would run best on my Lenovo G50-70. It has an Intel i7-4510U processor, 6GB of RAM, and a 1TB HDD. Any suggestions that consider performance would be appreciated!

I totally recommend MX Linux with the Xfce desktop environment for your setup. It's lightweight yet powerful. And if you're willing to make a small investment, swapping out your HDD for a used SSD can really speed things up—I've seen them for about $20 on eBay!
Definitely replace your HDD with an SSD; it’ll make everything feel way faster! I'd suggest using Linux Mint with the XFCE desktop environment for a smooth experience.
Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any Linux distro on that machine. If you're after the best performance, consider Arch Linux. For a more user-friendly experience, Linux Mint is a solid choice, especially for newcomers to Linux.
Haha, good to know! Thanks for the tip.
