Okay low maintenance OS for older computers

| Probably any GNU/Linux OS with a low resource desktop enviroment like KDE Plasma or MATE, or even just a window manager.
| FreeBSD

KDE is actually fairly lightweight now compared to where it was.
But yeah, for really low end computers lxde or lxqt is the safest bet.
| Yay! Thanks !
| I'm running cloverOS on my T61 and it runs pretty great. It uses a lightweight FVWM config for the default desktop. I also have that OS on my mom's old gateway laptop that had vista on it and that runs pretty good too.

TempleOS
| Any distro but don't install the desktop environment
| Windows XP
| Actually have any of y'all used the emulator OS? I know there are a lot of them like launch box lakka? (Don't remember lol)

Gentoo + i3gaps for shitposting purposes. Bonus points if the machine a 10+ year Thinkpad.

| Okay so I've came in possession of a older laptop. A below average office computer from around 2011. Any ideas on a OS that could make it more useful? Or just something weird in general just for the shits and giggles?
