I have a Lenovo Thinkpad x140e (AMD A4-5000M 1.5GHz 2MB L2 Cache Quad-core, 4GB DDR3) that I am currently dual booting with Mint and Windows 8. Mint feels sluggish compared to Win8.

I am not doing much with it, I need to run the Spotify app, and a webpage for hosting game tournaments. I am using the HDMI out on the laptop to a 4x4 Matrix.

I am looking for suggestions for a lightweight as possible distro.

    Another commenter suggested Tiny Core Linux and DSL2024, which are indeed as light as it gets, but you might find yourself limited in what you can do with them, and it’s not necessary for those specs.

    The next step up would be Q4OS Trinity and antiX. You should be able to get the Spotify app and your preferred web server running on either of those.
