    I recently revived an old EEEPC 1005P. I put Antix Linux on it and it’s totally usable.

    Firefox needed some tweaks (specifically reducing the process count) to make it run somewhat decently. It still doesn’t do Youtube, but it works fine enough for programming in Kate, doing terminal stuff and other simple native apps. Electron apps are a bit of a pain on that thing.

    It’s a really nice little on-the-go device that I use to work on my hobby projects on the train when commuting to work. Super small, super light, 8h battery life.
