Re: "I have a late-2010s ThinkPad running OpenBSD, but it's…"
As I pointed out before, I am running Ubuntu on an i5 t470 with 16GB, and it works like a charm -- I use it as my dev machine.
additional 8GB = $10-20. Well worth it.

I have a late-2010s ThinkPad running OpenBSD, but it's about as fast as a snail carrying heavy shopping through molasses. I'd like to run something other than Linux, for variety, but the other members of the BSD family failed for various reasons. What OS do you guys think I should try? Note: The machine in question has 8GB of RAM and an SSD. UPDATE: I am now running Slackware with Window Maker. However, further suggestions are still appreciated.
