With the feedback and requests we got from our Best Linux Distros for Gaming list, we had to do another list of the best lightweight Linux distros. Actually, some of them fit both our categories. Sure, there are other similar lists our there, but this one has up-to-date info and we’ve personally tried and tested (almost) every distro on our old laptops. It took us 7 months to compile this list and a few weeks to update it with new data! We’ve seen new lists that included distros with their latest update being in 2005. Come on, how is that distro still relevant and good in 2023? And don’t get us started on how each list is just a rehashed version of the same 5 distros. We purposefully included many distros in our list so you have more options to choose from. All distros are free and can run on ~512MB RAM or less. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, just pick any distro.

If you are looking for cheap unmanaged VPS hosting, then get a VPS from Vultr. Don’t expect any proactive support or help from unmanaged providers. If you want to use the Vultr/DigitalOcean/AWS/Google infrastructure, but still need a 24/7 support team, go with Cloudways or Devrims. They offer managed VPS plans using the Vultr/DO/AWS/Google infrastructure.
