Linux distributions for PCs with Nvidia graphics cards (MX Linux and Q4OS)

 Years ago I used Windows and when I upgraded to Windows 7, my PC, which I still have, became very slow. Windows 7 was a very demanding operating system and the PC was very slow.

This forced me to look for a less demanding operating system for my old PC and I entered the World of GNU Linux distributions. The first distribution used was Lubuntu, the PC worked well but there were things that I didn't like.

I kept looking for distributions for my old PC and found Sparky Linux. This distribution was very good but after an update of this distribution, the PC began to behave strangely. It was restarted. Searching to see what was happening, I found that my PC has a GeForce graphics card and the Sparky drivers for this card caused conflicts and my PC malfunctioned.

I continued to delve into the world of GNU Linux distributions for old computers and found an excellent Mx Linux distribution, which has tools that allow me to install the drivers for my graphics card in a very simple graphical way.

Mx Linux is not a light distribution, it is a medium weight distribution but for my old PC it works fine.

Another distribution that is lighter than Mx Linux and that also allows you to install the Nvidia drivers in a graphical and very simple way is the Q40S distribution.

I have my 200gb hard drive partitioned into three primary partitions. In one of them MX Linux, in another of them Q4OS. Both distributions derive from or use the Debian distribution as their mother distribution, which in my opinion is better than the RPM distributions, and much easier to use. The installation of both distributions is very simple and they allow you to install the Nvidia drivers in a very simple graphical way. Both distributions also detect Wiffi networks, which allows you to connect to the Internet in a very simple way. For me and my old PC with Intel motherboard, D945GTP, Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz processor, 4 GB of memory, and NVIDIA GK208B [GeForce GT 710] graphics card, the best GNULinux distributions for old PCs are Mx Linux and Q4OS.

  The third partition is occupied by the Debian mother distribution, which was used to study this distribution.
