Apparently Dell doesn’t do well with that OS, I couldn’t get the drivers to function correctly..

I've had that problem in the past but they've improved quite a bit over the years.

You might want to try the Peppermint distro. That works well with older machines. I was able to successfully resurrect a first-generation EEE PC as well as an ancient Sony Vaio by using that distribution.

I would suggest that you try playing with LiLi, a software that allows you to easily create "live USB" sticks where you can play with different Linux distributions until you find one that fully works and that you like.

Thanks!

I might try that with an old Acer I have. I’ve since gotten rid of the Vostro.
