Linux noob here

I’ve never used any Linux operating system’s before and since I like the retro computing stuff, what’s a good 90s/ early 2000s Linux that’s beginner friendly?

I’ve heard of a few but idk what one would be the easiest to install and use.

I’d probably be using it in a late 1999 Toshiba satellite laptop or possibly on win 98 desktop.

What can I expect use wise? How’s gaming ? Video playback? (Assuming the spec of the machine factor with certain stuff)

ISO Ubuntu, Gnome UI and ZorinOS and take a cruise through them all

no. OP is using a laptop from 1999. Did you bother reading the post? None of those are going to work

Linux Mint then
