Lubuntu

The UI might not look great. But one of the advantages compared to other debian based distros is it doesn't take much space or resources.

I'm using 17.10 but it still uses 250MB RAM and 2% processes after starting up

Wow that's nice 250MB RAM gives a lot more memory for programs. This definitely wronged my notion that Ubuntu is slower compared to other distros.

Many won't like it because of the UI, it may look like windows 95. But it gets the job done

At the end of the day looks doesn't matter as long as it can get the work done in a faster and better way.
