Hi!

Someone asked me to revive their 20 year old laptop as its no longer working on their installation of windows XP.

This baby has around 512MB of Ram, 1.6 GHZ Intel Atom.

This is my first time doing something with hardware older than myself so I’d love some insight from people around.

    MX Linux.
    It can run in in pretty much all hardware, and it’s debian-based too! It has Libreoffice, Firefox, etc. by default.

    Heck; if you can’t install it, you can just use is persistently from the USB!
