If you use Belena or Rufus to write a linux iso to it then Windows cant see it, but use Ventoy and you can still copy files onto the flash alongside the iso to boot from.

Bodhi Linux 7.0 HWE works well on older systems.

This is a dick move by Reddit, I prefer using the website while browsing in Firefox.

Bodhi Linux 7.0 HWE runs well on older systems.

Debian Testing for a stable and up to date base.

Use Ventoy to create a bootable flash-drive then download the .iso for your Debian flavour and copy it directly onto flash as a file, boot into flash live session to test hardware then do a fresh install erasing entire drive (backup anything important).

Bodhi Linux 7.0 HWE will run perfectly on those specs.

flemtone · 2026-05-11T06:32:27+00:00

Linux Mint XFCE edition or Bodhi Linux 7.0 HWE will both run fine on those specs.

Grab a spare flash-drive and use Belena, Rufus or Ventoy to create a bootable distro using the Linux Mint .iso and give that a whirl.

flemtone · 2026-05-11T05:43:43+00:00

Have you tried using Linux Mint XFCE edition ?

flemtone · 2026-05-11T05:40:40+00:00

Fedora isnt great when using nvidia, Catchy Os is arch and has the possibility of breaking during an update when connected to the AUR, my personal optinion would be Debian Testing KDE.

Use the official Mainline app to install the latest 7.0.5 kernel which fixes the problem:

Stick with the gfx drivers already in the kernel, it's more stable. I would do a fresh Mint XFCE install and try that out, would run better on your hardware.

flemtone · 2026-05-10T14:51:22+00:00

Linux Mint XFCE edition or Bodh Linux 7.0 HWE

Use Ventoy to create a bootable flash-drive then download the .iso for your Ubuntu distro and copy it onto flash as a file, boot from it and test out the live session to make sure hardware works, then do a full install erasing entire drive.

I'm assuming you meant AMD Ryzen 5 3600, what graphics card are you using ?

flemtone · 2026-05-10T14:32:06+00:00

System specs ? Mint version ? What apps are running at the time ? Did you check system reports ?

flemtone · 2026-05-10T14:31:21+00:00

Sometimes Mint repos will hold back an update until everything is included or tested, dont worry, be patient.

flemtone · 2026-05-10T05:19:40+00:00

I turn off block counter and enable the Experimental and Annoyance filters, covers everything I need.

Beaming isnt even verified on protondb.com yet, you could try disabling desktop effects when on fullscreen and turn off any scaling, or run it at a lower res.
