Which version for a Samsung Chromebook Go?

Hello, I want to ditch Mint as it's too buggy (It lags out, crashes, and doesn't properly handle standby). Is Xubuntu suitable for my laptop?  If so, which version?

Processor: Intel® Celeron® N4500 (Dual-Core, 1.1 GHz base, up to 2.8 GHz boost, 4 MB L3 Cache).
Graphics: Intel® UHD Graphics (Integrated).
RAM: 4 GB (Soldered)
Storage: 62 GB eMMC flash storage.

There is no way of answering this question. You don't mention the specs of your laptop or what version of Mint your using. What is "buggy"? Many people use mint and love it. Best thing to do would be to boot a live iso to test on your hardware.

If "Samsung Chromebook Go" is a Celeron laptop with 4GB RAM, I would suggest trying out MX Linux.

Re: Which version for a Samsung Chromebook Go?

In general I will suggest linux that is lightweight and a distribution that you can easily get a hang on. Xubuntu seems good. I would try that first for a test run and see if your computer can handle it. Plus for Xubuntu you can always test it first before you install it in your computer.

There are two types of release of linux you might be interested on. One is a stable release (the LTS type) like Xubuntu. The other, like Arch linux and its derivative, are called rolling release. See which one you prefer.

Xubuntu --- https://xubuntu.org/ https://xubuntu.org/release/26.04/
CachyOS (arch derivative) --- https://cachyos.org/
Arch linux (not beginner friendly) --- https://archlinux.org/
