Lubuntu then Linux Lite.
What use on an old machine (512 RAM) is Linux Mint, which is very light and functional. The Lubuntu does not work, I will test those indicated here.
Thanks for suggestions.

512MB RAM is enough for the OS but very little for modern web browsing.

The best configuration for a modern operating system and quite usable is Debian Unstable + Openbox + preload, then disable unnecessary services, enable zram, and it should perform quite well.

What is the OS that runs on any machine, even older, that spend the least possible energy and have support at least one web browser?
If not exist, is need.

For the record here. Smiley
I guess it is Damn small linux which is the most lightweight and smallest os in the world,
