Ubuntu stopped being the lightweight Linux distro, and Linux Mint filled the gap it left behind

Maybe Xubuntu or preferably Lubuntu, but never Ubuntu.
I’d even have a hard time saying Linux Mint is going to be lightweight.

Lubuntu definitely seems about the lightest weight desktop environment for it for sure. I suppose Ubuntu server can be pretty light… But so are most linux servers, that’s kind of their selling point.

I’d argue AntiX or PuppyLinux… but if we’re talking about stuff a normie can just use, I agree with you.
