I have a 11.6 inch Asus laptop with following configuration
OS: Windows 10 Home
Processor: Intel Celeron N4500 Processor 1.1 Ghz (4M Cache, upto 2.8 GHz, 2 cores)
Memory: 4GB DDR4 onboard, Memory Max upto 4 GB
Storage: 128 GB M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 2280 SSD (Supports upgrade upto 2 TB M.2 NVMe SSD)
I want to install Ubuntu on it.
Reading about latest (24.04) Ubuntu Desktop edition at https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop#system-requirements found that it is not suitable for my machine and exploring on web I found that for machines with lower configurations official Ubuntu flavours (https://ubuntu.com/desktop/flavours) should be used.
Checking out the websites of Xubuntu, Kubuntu and Lubuntu it is only on xubuntu website I could find the system requirements page at https://xubuntu.org/requirements/ and looking at the recommended specs I came to conclusion it is not suitable for my machine.
Checking the website of Kubuntu at https://kubuntu.org/ and Lubuntu at https://lubuntu.me/ I couldn't find the system requirements for installing them.
Are there any official pages which mentions them so that one can go through them and decide whether they are suitable for a particular machine or not?
Checking out website of Ubuntu Budgie at https://ubuntubudgie.org/downloads/ following is mentioned at the time of writing this
Ideal for computers with: 4GB or more of RAM, 64-bit capable Intel and AMD processors, UEFI PCs booting in CSM mode, Modern Intel-based Apple Macs
Checking out Edubuntu at https://www.edubuntu.org no system requirements information available.
Checking out Ubuntu Cinnamon at https://ubuntucinnamon.org/ no system requirements information available.
Checking out Ubuntu Mate I could find System Requirements information at https://ubuntu-mate.org/about/requirements/.
All that said and shared my last question is which of the available flavours would one recommend for my machine config? I want to primarily use my machine for note-taking purpose and doing some scripting in Ruby language.
Thank you.
