  • The processor on your Toshiba looks like it is a 32 bit version and your memory is limited to 2GB, that will limit performance. I run the 32bit version of Linux Mint MATE on machines with a bit more memory and that is fine. It is the easiest install to get a good looking interface and their help forum is user friendly. If that fails then go for Lubuntu and play around with the desktop layout until you are happy with it.
    32 bit processors are beginning to struggle with some software and are not supported at all by others like Chrome, Skype and maybe more in the near future. I think MS Office on Wine would really struggle, just learn to love Libre Office instead.

  • I came across Mint Mate before Ubuntu Mate. I've not been using linux that long, starting with machines that would only run Lubuntu or Xfce. When I found Mint Mate I liked its familiar windows style and more user friendly support forum. I now run standard Mint on my main machine.
