otherwise it goes in the landfill
Ah, well in that case, fair enough.
I’ve done my fair share of ridiculousness to keep free crappy hardware running.
I will say, try running Alpine Linux on a container.
I’ve managed to extract some usefulness out of a borderline e-waste Android tablet running some flavor of Jelly Bean, so outdated you couldn’t connect to most websites due to bad TLS certs, by running a Alpine Container on it.
Alpine was the only distro I found that could run up-to-date software on such a ancient version of the Linux kernel, everything else failed to work at all.
I’ve learned this information a while ago and I’m still upset.
Seems like every time I stop watching a YouTuber for a while, I come back later and whoops! turns out they did something awful! 🙄
