I have a Toshiba Satellite R15-S822 tablet laptop with only 512mb of ram, 60gb hard drive, and 1.6ghz processor. Is there a version of Ubuntu that would run on this machine.

Thanks, Bob, W.

    Is that 1.6GHz CPU 64-bit capable? Or are you seeking to use a 32-bit OS? – matigo Jan 13 '22 at 14:03

    Seems that Bruni has done the work to determine there are no distributions supported by AskUbuntu available for your system. That said, I have found that the Legacy (32-bit) version of Bodhi Linux is moderately capable on systems with 512GB of RAM and a 5400rpm HDD. Mind you, browsing the web will be dog slow if not impossible given the ridiculous resources demanded by many sites – matigo Jan 13 '22 at 14:16
  • You can try Q4OS 32 bit (i386) with Trinity desktop environment - It claims to work with 256 MB of RAM and a 300 MHz CPU. https://q4os.org/downloads1.html Alternatively, you can use a very old version of Ubuntu (e.g. 10.10), and use it offline (which is quite safe). – Archisman Panigrahi Jan 13 '22 at 14:39

The Toshiba Satellite R15-S822 seems to have an Intel Pentium® M Processor 725 [1.60GHz, 2MB L2 cache, 400MHz FSB] This processor is 32 bit. 32-bit ISO images of Ubuntu are no longer being produced (as of 17.10). So you will have to look for another linux distro.
