OS with the lowest requirements.

So I've recently picked up a zotac zbox, It's running pretty slow, youtube streaming and I can't do a lot else and even then the video seems to stutter every now and then

Currently running Win10 64 bit. Thinking if I were to switch to Linux would I see a noticeable difference?

It's an atom 330 1.6ghz chip with nvidia ion gpu onboard. 4GB ram, sandisk SSD.

Literally all it is being used for is to stream youtube etc, so I just want it to do this effortlessly.

Any thoughts appreciated.

I'm gonna give Openelec a try looks decent for what I need Cheers

I'll definitely give that extension a go for sure, I've installed openelec and it's working perfectly, no lag, cpu fan is silent now as it's not putting much stress on it at all. (would get to 90 degrees plus and 100 percent load with YouTube! And can't remove the cooler to replace the paste etc )

Only issue is that it's not a pc so I don't have a Web browser etc. But it's mainly gonna be a media pc anyway so fits the bill perfect so far.
