I have this old laptop that I haven't used for years and I can remember running Linux on it. I tried installing Ubuntu 22.04 server on it to use it as a server but although it installs it won't boot up as it doesn't recognise it. My question is what is the best distro I can put on it to make it a usable laptop again as all the newer fedora and Ubuntu ones don't seem to work on it or should I just give it up and bin it
