I've been hearing good things about Debian 12 and it was easier than ever to install on this old T61p.

Wanted to give Bookworm a test drive and happy to report it's smooth sailing using Gnome with a few tweaks from System76. Only took 8m 28s to compile pop launcher on the Core 2 Duo.

The RAM usage though ... I boot Bodhi Linux 6.0 in 230mb of RAM to a fully featured graphical desktop...
