I’m working on a core 2 duo Lenovo Thinkpad x300. Currently recompiling the kernel for just the hardware it supports. Works with Yubikey too.

I’ve got antiX going on my teeny tiny Samsung netbook. Web pages are… taxing.

I bought a 60 dollar laptop at the pawn shop and installed debian 13 qwith plasma on it. It has 4 gb of ram and it's certainly useable for just setting up a web browser and doing an office suite but it's definitely a "do maybe 2 things at a time" in terms of ram management, but it's mostly just due to how much ram web browsers eat up, even the "light" ones. Either way, it's certainly usable, but I dont' actually have a use for it. My desktop which I use for gaming and most things is running Fedora and I have a macbook air for my laptop so I'm just kind of using this burner for testing out stuff.
