    There is a distro called Linux Lite which is very good if you need a light weight OS. It may be a good idea if you posted your PC's specs so people be able to recommend the best OS/Distro for your machine

    1. Mint

    2. Ubuntu

    3. elementary

    4. Fedora

    5. Zorin Os

    for lightweight try xubuntu or lubuntu

    all but fedora is ubuntu based so how you install stuff in them is all the same

    I agree with this list, but I'd put Zorin as number 1, it's what I'm using right now. This kind of question is like asking what do you look for in a girlfriend.. it's all subjective and based on what we like. ;)

    Good Day.

    I trust everyone is doing well.

    Please can somebody assist me to do download the proper ISO for Linux Mint 17.3. And if possible the the instruction of using the ISO image. I already have Mint 17.3 on a USB flash but don't believe that is the legit OS. Please!!!!!

    I hope someone can assist me ASAP.

    Looking forward to hearing from you
