I can also recommend the operating system Cloudready. This is a customized Chrome OS that you can install on any device. Here is the download: https://davrt8itj6cgg.cloudfront.net/cloudready-free-72.3.30-32-bit/cloudready-free-72.3.30-32-bit.zip

Then unpack the ZIP and write the image with this tool on a USB stick with at least 8GB: https://etcher.io/ This tool is also available for Linux as Appimage. Just download and unpack. Make the appimage executable and copy / opt / copy. Then start by double-clicking. A desktop shortcut will be created.

When the stick has been created, simply boot the stick. The installer offers the possibility to delete the hard disk and he also installs the WLAN. To do this, have network keys ready. When the installation is complete, the system restarts. When the system starts, simply log in with the Google Account. In the browser settings in the section Plugins you can install Flash, Codecs and Widevine with just one click. Then you can also use DRM-protected sites like maxdome, netflix, Amazon Video, Sky Go, etc. After that restart again and your Chromebook is ready. All updates are fully automatic in the background.

The integrated file manager can also play offline downloaded documents, pictures, photos, graphics, music and video files by double-clicking. The Chrome Webstore also has the VLC player available.

The voice controls OK Google and Google Airprint are also supported. Cloudready runs much faster than Lubuntu. Also on such an old device.
