So I've hit the limit of the python IDK I was using on my chromebook and need to revamp an old laptop to a usable machine. I'm thinking I should wipe Windows Vista from it and install Linux. The specs on the hardware look reasonable (Toshiba Satelite my wife bought about 11 years ago):
1.7 GHz Intel T2080 (32 bit)
1021 MB ram (call it a Gig)
native screen resolution 1280 x 800 px
110 Gig Hard drive
My goals are to run python as a learning platform and maybe move to something like C or C++ compiling - again basic learning not powerful programs yet.
I am a linux newbe. Which build or flavor of linux should I look to? What are some points I will have to be ready for (sound card support, video card support, wireless card...)?
Thanks
