My parents have an old laptop ( Macbook ref ) wich start to lag on the last OS version. So I'm looking for a light distro to install.

They only use the laptop to go on internet (any browser) and use Open Office or equivalent. But I need a very intuitive distro 'cause they don't very understand how a computer works and I'm too far away for any computer maintenance (I just can install the distro for Christmas).

I hesitate between Ubuntu with an other DE than Unity (elementary OS?) or Linux Mint (lighter, but have a quite bad GUI) or buy the OS X Snow Leopard (past version of OSX).

Thanks for your help!

PS: I hope I have not made too many spelling mistakes... ^^'

you should go for "xfce" linux distros . They are free and old- hardware friendly. They are the lightest versions ,are easy to use and don't lag on old hardware.

Best distro for old hardware is Lubuntu. Elementary OS is the best looking distro. You can go for it too.

If you mean Ubuntu derivates, then Lubuntu and Xubuntu should be ok for you.
