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
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.
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.
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.
That graphics card is too nice
