What am I looking at (besides a generic neofetch on hardware that can’t load Google.com)

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.

by crapbook, are you referring to a Chromebook?

No, sadly, it shipped with windows 8.1. Chrome OS would have at least made sense.

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

I got a surprising amount of use out of a similarly configured C720 as a general purpose portable machine.

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 mentioned this elsewhere but this hyfetch isn’t actually fair to the crapbook. I had Firefox open as well, with Lemmy as the only open tab (so it’s totally usable, who needs to do anything other than post on Lemmy?). It was actually 1.03 Gb ram consumption on the terminal after closing Firefox.

Glados the crapbook is now running bunsenlabs and it’s sitting at 745M on the desktop according to conky.

745M is still kinda much, when i was using xfce in idle i never reached more than 500M

Why? Also you can buy more ram. It isn’t super cheap but it isn’t expensive either.

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.
