Thanks for the info. I’m a Linux newbie. Just playing with an OLD 32-bit laptop. Running Linux Mint 19.3 xfce which is all this old PC can handle. Tried 19.3 Cinnamon, but it kept locking up.

Brave.com (which I really like) no longer supports 32-bit hardware, so I just use the browsing software that came with xcfe.

Any recommendations?

You need to provide specs. First thing would be to install the OS on a SSD (much much faster than HD's) . Platters are passe.

And you likely need a more basic Linux distro, maybe like Xubuntu.
