Overall, neat video, you've earned a subscriber! If you want a tad newer system id recommend looking at, the latitude e5430 has been quite nice system for me as someone who got one for free and repaired it. Beautiful system to work on, and does ubuntu 24.04 like a champ!

You might consider trying the legacy (32 bit) version of Bodhi Linux. I bought an Eee 900A netbook from Best Buy, with 2 GB of RAM and an Atom CPU. It came with Xandros Linux. It had a union file system--easy to go back to original state, but the first update totally filled the tiny SSD. For a while I went with what was then called Easy Peasey Linux, but settled on Bodhi and enjoyed it greatly. Its Moksha windowing environment is a fork of Enlightenment 17.

If you can get one WITHOUT the GPU it's still totally viable, the ones WITH a GPU are battery hogs and heat up so much it slows down.

I’ve already tried it. the old GPU is barely supported on any distro I’ve installed on it, so the performance is terrible.

Hey! Thanks for your great input of linux distro's on that I can see how they run on old hardware. I can now get my old Toshiba back in service. Mint is not bad but it's a bit sluggish on hardware from 2010. Great demo! thankyou...
