Best linux distros for openLP

RevPaulWebb

I have installed openlp on lubuntu17.10 and although the openlp works fine and the os is quick, the handling of the dual monitor (extend to projector) by lubuntu is not satisfactory.
once connected the app on the main monitor won't maximize and the projector settings are lost every time I reconnect. i have windows10 on this machine and openlp works very well but the machine is quite low spec and windows takes forever to load.
so i am looking for a linux distro that will handle the dual monitor and not make the machine too slow.
can anyone tell me what versions of linux they have and how well they work please? (I don't want to use heavyweights like KDE if possible!)
the machine is an Asus K55a with celeron B820 and 8MB RAM.

I'm guessing you mean 8GB RAM, not 8MB. I run KDE on Debian on my 2011 Toshiba netbook which has 2GB of RAM. It's not always the fastest, but I never had a problem running OpenLP.

Have you looked at Xubuntu?

I use linux mint cinnamon.

Thanks guys - Yes I did mean 8GB

I am trying to run OpenLP on OpenSuse Leap 42.3 64 bit. I have installed all the listed dependencies, but the app will not load. Is there a problem with 64 bit installations (the Qt4 libs are in a 64bit specific location, which may possibly lead the initial python module to not see them. Any ideas please?

OpenLP uses Qt5 and PyQt5

Thank you raoul. Qt5 is installed, but PyQt5 is a bit more tricky. I am exploring this.

Ive been using Linux for about 20 years. Mostly Mint, but more recently Elementary which is a breath of fresh air. OpenLP works a treat on it too.

OpenLP 2.4.6 works well on Linux Mint 19 Mate and 18.3 Xfce too.
