Also, if you have "_Gallium 0.4_" listed as graphics card, I'd avoid the standard version of Ubuntu with Unity, as the performance of software rendering for graphics is abysmal. Use Lubuntu or another lightweight variant of Ubuntu instead. – Jonas Czech Jun 24 '16 at 16:08

@JonasCz can I use 13.04? – Ameen Babu Jun 24 '16 at 16:14

1You should use the latest version, 16.04, as 13.04 is no longer supported. But you should use one of the lightweight variants, such as [Lubuntu](http://lubuntu.net/). – Jonas Czech Jun 24 '16 at 16:15

@JonasCz is there any other lightweight variants rather than Lubuntu? – Ameen Babu Jun 24 '16 at 16:17

1Yes, there's [Ubuntu MATE](https://ubuntu-mate.org/) and [Xubuntu](http://xubuntu.org/). – Jonas Czech Jun 24 '16 at 16:21

1GB memory size is very low for Ubuntu. Either install at least one more, for the 32-bit version or use Lubuntu 32-bit instead.

1GB is perfectly fine for Ubuntu :). Maybe not GNOME or KDE, but Ubuntu is designed to work with older systems. – TheWanderer Jun 24 '16 at 16:08

@Zacharee1, Not for the standard version with Unity, IMO. I tried it and it struggles with even basic web browsing - Unity can use ~500MB + on it's own. – Jonas Czech Jun 24 '16 at 16:28
