Looks like a Cybertruck
I literally LOL’ed. Just wanted to say that
I revived a friend’s old laptop by installing Linux on it, and I told her that using Linux entitled her to a small amount of “nerd creds”. Years later, she told me that it did end up eliciting mild approval from a woman who ended up being her partner for multiple years. The system works!
Some nails and coal are pretty enough.
You do not need a case and discrete GPU. Way above minimum requirements! :)
Le potato
But can you run Linux on hard drive controller chip?
ye with mips emulation
Linux is between the requirements of a raspberry pi pico and a raspberry pi zero I would say
Although some crazy person did get Linux running on an esp32 once
There is a number of crabs that can run linux
I must still have a Pentium S with Windows 98 back at my mom’s house. Now I am wondering if it could run Linux.
If you’re not planning to run GUI
I’ve seen videos of people running Damn Small Linux with a GUI on Pentium 1s.
None of them are very recent, so I don’t know how well ‘modern’ DSL would fare on a P1, but there are a few recent videos of people browsing the web using Dillo on Pentium 3s.
I installed Debian Buster and ran Firefox on my Pentium 3 750 a couple of years ago. It wasn’t very fast or very usable, but I ran it.
I mostly use that system for retro games in DOS 6.2 and Windows 98. The Debian installation is my utility OS for when I want to transfer new stuff to the DOS partitions, because it’s way easier to connect it to the network.
anyone else felt the impending finger slice in that photo? case looks pissed and out for flesh.
The PC will not boot without a blood sacrifice. This one is just extra thirsty.
There are people out there powering their PC with electricity … what a bunch of environmentally unfriendly weirdos.
I just top up my BSU (blood supply unit) daily and it purrs (in Latin) like a charm.
War makes you unrecognizable, buddy.
Yes, this one has tasted blood before. You can tell by the way that it is.
Needs some work on the cable management but no other notes, 5/7 build.
I installed Tiny Core Linux on an old ass netbook laptop on which even Windows 7 kinda lagged. Went CLI only, no DE and made the laptop thousand times more usable. I’ve basically repurposed that laptop as an external hard drive for things I don’t need backed up but good to have a backup of.
Yeah don’t plug that in
Put it in rice first
Man I love Lubuntu, it’s such a tiny distro that makes even old as fuck machines semi functional for modern usage.
Even those weird ass atom netbooks work like a charm with it and you can actually do decent work on them!
And the best part is that the UI keeps being understandable by average windows users
Great distro,.10/10, would install on a Compaq laptop again
Xubuntu brought a garbage Vista era system to usable levels for me for a dumb video I made a while ago, wasn’t fast but definitely usable.
I didn’t think rust was required
Rust has been a part of the kernel since 6.8.
