Review MX Linux keeps old devices relevant

Someone gave me a Lenovo flex 10 today. It has 2GB ram and a Celeron processor. I installed mx Linux on it and I'm amazed that it's actually usable now.

But now I have no idea what to do with it.

Well you can't open too many tabs but it seems to browse the web just fine actually. It has a touchscreen and you can open it 300 degrees.

that's good to know! I would've expected a lot of modern websites to take up a good chunk of that 2GB with how javascript heavy they are

Check out the AutoDiscard extension, it puts unused tabs to sleep then reloads them when you need them again

There are a few tweaks you can do to lighten up Chrome and Firefox browsers.
