      It’s Bazzite on wildly impractical hardware. I had the installer on my ventoy USB and decided to try and install it on my crapbook for shits and giggles.

      No, it doesn’t run well. But to be fair, I also had Firefox open on another desktop with the only open tab being Lemmy.

      That’s exactly it, Bazzite, a distro associated with gaming, running on hardware that even at release was criticized for being “landfill fodder”.

          How did you make it usable? I personally love restoring and making use out of severely-underpowered hardware and still have an old netbook lying around, so I’m curious to hear what you did with yours :o

      I wanted to get more ram for my notebook however it’s soldered to the board with no extra DIMM or storage options.

      It’s an old satellite from Toshiba, 4gb ram, dual core intel, 64gb emmc. Serves it’s purpose running a bare bones (ish) install of Nix.

      Really hate ewaste hardware.

      I tried to install arch like three times, it would hang during the nvdia driver install, then it would black screen during logging in, but now i suspect its because i clicked the option to comeplete the boot files on rufus and now am myself on bazzite
