Hi everyone. I have an old ASUS S56C and I use it everyday for web (Firefox) and graphic design (Photoshop with Bottles, Inkscape). I have used for years Lubuntu, and it was all good with LXDE ambient, but with the latest versions it switched to LXQT and with snaps I don’t feel it comfortable anymore.

So, I’m looking for another easy weight lightweight distro, no fancy, only for Firefox, Bottles and Inkscape. I’m opened to any suggestions. Thanks in advance to everyone.

EDIT: Thank you all for your time and answers. I’ve read them all and I think I will start with Debian with LXDE. Thank you all again.

    Unstable, in technical terms, is not unreliable or buggy. Unstable means it often changes in a noticeable or significantly way. Instability is not necessarily a bad thing, it just means you have to be more aware and adapt to changes.

    An average, nontechnical user will not like significant changes in an OS. They can barely handle changes in applications they use on a regular basis, much less the thing that controls their whole experience on the computer. Many users even prefer working around bugs to having to learn a new process.

    This is what instability is about. Instability has a correlation to unreliability/bugged experiences, but is not necessarily a direct relationship. Higher instability is just more likely to result in problems.
