I have been gifted a few ancient laptops from the stone age (2005-2014). Any ideas on what I can do with them? Are there any modern Linux distros that would run on old hardware like this? I’ll take any suggestions this wonderful community has to offer.
oh so laptops from 1990s? cool i love to have one actually
excuse me? what? 2014 is ancient? fr? am i this out of touch?
(im not old, new technology pricing is just too much for me. im still stuck in 2016 hardware wise).
Me crumbling to old person dust when a gen alpha calls Windows 8 an ancient OS.
My bad I didn’t mean for people to catch strays lol. I’m ‘old’ relatively speaking age wise. I just meant how tech older than 5 years is considered old. I could go on a rant on how wasteful and stupid that concept is but unfortunately its the way of the world today.
Nah, you’re good. Oldest PCs I still have are a bunch of beige boxes with Windows 2000 still on them and an Inspiron 9400 with Windows 7.
Right? These laptops dont even have floppy drives.
our computer still had a floppy drive until around 2016 i think. good times. unfortunately everything we had on floppy was for DOS not windows xp and i was just a kid so i didn’t know how to get DOS working.
