Linux Mint works quite well on my system of similar specifications.
Dr.Hacknik
That's the idea. I may be giving this thing away, and I wanted it to have a Good fast running OS. Windows works well, until you install tons of programs and take up 70% of the Disk space.

Mint works very well on my older machine, and the specs are quite inferior.
Dr.Hacknik
Well, my laptop isn't that bad in terms of specs. I may install Ubuntu instead, either way it's gonna be Linux.
hobbledehoy899
Mint is Ubuntu-based.
VinsCool
Mint is better than Ubuntu actually lol
They removed all the bloat

Still, I'd prefer Ubuntu or Kubuntu. Because of Unity and KDE.
EDIT:
Nvm; I'll install Mint x3

service network-manager always gives me beef when I use Mint. If you can get Mint+Cinnamon working w/o that issue, go for it.

@Ricken What sort of beef?
Ricken
It'd just stop taking WiFi signal, so I'd have to run in terminal 'service network-manager restart'. And if that didn't work I'd have to reboot the system
Dr.Hacknik
Sounds like a Driver issue. I've never had any issues like that across three laptops.
Ricken
Probably is.. It only happens to me on Mint though, nothing else. It bugs me, but I'm content with Debian or Ubuntu Mate. (Or Antergos if I'm bored and want to regret not knowing how to convert deb to whatever Arch's install files are)
Dr.Hacknik
Try using Elementary OS or Kubuntu; it might not give you beef about it. ...... Installing: http://i.imgur.com/vaKKwRX.jpg

There's a bash script that Joe Collins wrote called refresh-net that does that. https://youtu.be/2dpUPqMMDLE
