  • The problem is that I don't understand my system compared to others, I don't know which one is better :S – Idefix MPAO Mar 02 '20 at 23:33
  • Better, how? "Better" is subjective until you define what it means. However, since your system is NOT a 32-bit system according to https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/53438/intel-core-i3-2350m-processor-3m-cache-2-30-ghz.html you may run a 64-bit Ubuntu or Ubuntu 'flavour' https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours  and therefore have a broader seclection of choices. – K7AAY Mar 02 '20 at 23:40
  • Welcome! You can be guided by the RAM. I think @user535733 link is outdated, it has 6 years. Ubuntu desktop works fine with 4gb ram, at least in my experience. Lighter flavours will be more than ok, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu budgie, Ubuntu mate. – schrodingerscatcuriosity Mar 02 '20 at 23:41
  • Thank you very much :D – Idefix MPAO Mar 02 '20 at 23:42
  • I'm sorry, I realize that the editings in the link are (sort of) up to date. @user535733 – schrodingerscatcuriosity Mar 03 '20 at 00:02

    Why not try it before you install? Installed systems run faster than 'live' systems, but it'll let you test on your own hardware - https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/try-ubuntu-before-you-install-it/14014 FYI: My desktop is a decade old (before i series processors came out and will run all UBuntu's; but your system will be amd64 (64-bits I bet) as amd64 (called that because AMD created it, intel uses it too) became pretty common post 1999; early-mid 2000's intel atoms maybe 32bit (x86) an i3 will be x86_64/amd64) – guiverc Mar 03 '20 at 00:41

Your configuration should be OK, as the recommended minimum requirements are:

  • 2 GHz dual core processor
  • 4 GiB RAM

To be safe, you should try first Ubuntu with a live CD. If you're convinced then you can install it on your laptop. If not, you may want to use a lightweight alternative, like Xubuntu or Lubuntu, which will definitely suitable to your config.
