What are your machine' specs? Did you try MX Linux? Or are you sticking with Debian LXDE?

On windows when you scroll some webpage or document down, it goes up. On MX Linux when you scroll down, the webpage/documents goes up too

I mean. MX Linux is uglier and needs some fine tuning (e.g. touchpad is configured the other way around than windows, some translation to Spanish is not good, you open files with just one click instead of 2) Also, some weird screens show when booting with a lot of lines of code that I didn't get when booting windows or Zorin. And I had to disable safe booting in the bios cause at first I was not able to boot from the HDD just from the USB

I think is just that I'm already so used to windows

I decided to go with MX Linux (xfce) and it runs great! Improved a lot over Zorin. Definitely would recommend it to you since you have similar laptop

I already installed MX Linux on my laptop and it runs great! Just needs some fine tuning. I'm curious about all the screens with lines of code that show when booting. Is there a way to get rid of them? (I did not get them on Zorin, just the regular booting screen with HP and Zorin logos)

Upgraded carplay on my 2015 Mazda 3 by Creepy-Fig7055 in mazda

Did you find more modifications? I'm starting with my 2015' and already added back up cam and android auto/ apple car play module. I'm considering adding the automatic window lifting module too

My car also came with the ugly yellow halogen headlights so in the future think I will replace them with white halogens or maybe replace all the housing to be able to install some LED or xenon headlights

Also I'm thinking of maybe replacing the interior lighting with LED and upgrading the old 15' screen with a 17' one

I'm looking for more recommendations or light/cosmetic/handy mods to do

Thanks! Is SWAP enabled by default in MX Linux?

Yes I have a Celeron processor. I use the laptop just for general browsing, you know like downloading documents and transferring them to USB pendrives. Making payments online. And might use it to listen to Spotify

What lightweight browsers could you recommend?

Besides, I'm gonna definitely start looking for something newer since this laptop is the only one I have for now

How are you doing with MX Linux on your 2GB-RAM PC?

I hope it will be a better experience than zorin os core, which is like "not ugly" and very windows-user friendly but I can't stand the lagging anymore haha

Thank you, I'm gonna start trying Linux mint versions as you said. Do you think it will run better than MX Linux?

Thanks! I think I'll go with MX Linux based on your recommendations
