Trying here to revive an old computer, but currently in doubt related to which O.S. should be installed.



Already thought that Ubuntu seems to use newer software in general, despite Debian, which, generally uses older, as with more legacy drivers.



So, which one should be installed in a simpler and older computer, Ubuntu or Debian?
