PeppermintOS? I'm trying to prepare an ancient Chromebook C202S for Linux and have had some ideas from antiX to MXLinux and Loc-OS, but it seems that PeppermintOS may be among the best choices.

The tech level of this Chromebook's end user is unlikely to work well with Arch + BSPWM, which was recommended to me by someone else.

AntiX Linux has been the most efficient distro on my netbook. You gotta be okay without systemd though. For the most part I didn't need it but some things are highly dependent on systemd to work.

WattOS was good too but AFAIK it's not actually open source so I couldn't trust it.
