Linux for old laptop

adbp1 · 26 Apr 2020 at 16:59

My sister has given me her laptop to fix, it had windows 10 but i cannot get it to repair. so i was thinking Linux or even chrome os. I have formatted drive and installed neverware but i dont really like it.

spec of laptop

HP Stream 11-r000na
Celeron N3050 / 1.6 GHz
Win 10 Home 64-bit
2 GB RAM
32 GB eMMC

what would be the best linux or chrome for the specs above.
needs it working so the kids can do their homework while on lockdown.
