Lubuntu is perfect for PCs from 2010, saving a PC with version 20.04 LTS still works. Lubuntu comes standard with easy access desktop, immediate search and manageable folder manager.

This OS has all the tools for gaming on Linux out of the box. There is a low chance you might encounter common issues like "download this lib", "give permission to that tool" when you just want to install a Linux-compatible game and play it.

I haven’t really found anything about this Linux district that I dislike. It seems to be everything I need in a Linux OS right out of the box.
