I recently discovered an old computer in my storage room, and I'm on the lookout for a compatible Linux distribution to install on it. Here are the specs of the machine:
- Processor: AMD Athlon 200GE with Radeon Vega graphics, 3.20 GHz
- Installed RAM: 8.00 GB
- System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
I apologize for not being able to provide photos or more detailed information; I'm just short on time. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Have you thought about using Xubuntu? It's got a minimal installer, which can be great for older machines. It could handle that AMD Athlon setup without too much hassle.
If you're unsure, the distro selection page on the Linux4Noobs wiki might be worth a look. It could help you find a fitting distro based on your hardware! Just be careful with commands; always understand what you're typing before hitting Enter.
You might want to consider using Ventoy for creating a bootable USB drive. It makes it easy to try different distros! For a lightweight option, Linux Mint with Xfce could be fun, but keep in mind it might not work well on all older hardware. Check it out here: linuxmint.com/download.php.
