      I’ve seen Linux kernels powering eletrical instalations control monitors. I’d risk we can say that if it runs on electric impulses, it can run Linux.

      When will EVs be jailbroken?

    Very funny, but I actually used to own a computer that didn’t meet the minimum requirements for Linux.

            I was under the impression that the main impediment to running Linux on a 286 was the lack of an MMU. I might be wrong about that, though.

        Linux doesn’t run on anything below a 386 because it requires a MMU.

        (Some people have made forks that can run on 286s etc., but those changes have never been part of the mainline kernel.)

          You can if you emulate a CPU that does have an MMU. Someone has actually done this to get Linux booting on an Intel 4004. Another one got Linux to boot on a Commodore 64.

        They tried running Linux on their ENIAC, but someone accidentally tipped over one of the crates of punch cards which has unfortunately set the project back a few months.

    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.

    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
