A four year old 2 core / 2 thread Celeron, 4 gb of ram AND eMMC storage? That "performance" is so bad. I doubt that linux could even save it.
Oof. Not even for my worst enemy.
Buy an old Latitude or Thinkpad off ebay for less and experience infinitely more performance.
That said for those who are on an ultra tight budget, I do have an idea of how well this machine will run. With Windows 10, it'll probably run a max of 5 browser tabs ok if the content isn't too complex. Maybe 1-2 tabs if it is complex. I've never used Windows 11 on something with these kinds of specs, so I can't comment on that. Forget about content creation or anything outside very basic and casual use.
Any Linux desktop environment should run fine with the exception of GNOME, especially if you turn off desktop effects. GNOME feels significantly heavier than other DE's on Linux when running a lower spec device.
Not only are the CPUs 3 - 8x faster, the graphics are 5 - 10x faster, they have twice the RAM and 4x the storage.
It's hard to overstate how slow the N4500 CPU in this machine is. I do not wish the agony of using it for productivity on anyone ...
