  • The most approachable distros are Ubuntu based IMHO. That means Ubuntu (full featured, great interface, but can be slightly more demanding on old hardware), Lubuntu, Xubuntu (Ubuntu based, but with more basic desktop environment. They may be snappier on old hardware but not as fully featured), Mint (already mentioned here, generally considered the best of both worlds).

    If you want to use very limited hardware, you might also consider a distro like Puppy Linux.

    If you are new to Linux, the most overlooked consideration is the community support. You will have things come up that require help to do/fix. A strong, active community means you will have a much easier time.









  • If I already have a handful of WiFi devices, do you think it is worth it to replace them? Say, 4-5 switches. I’m planning to invest in a few more and a home thermostat. I certainly want to commit before buying a thermostat, since they tend to be a little more pricey.

    Is there a greater danger of ZigBee not being sustainable over decades? WiFi will probably be available for the remainder of my lifetime because it is already so ubiquitous.
