@yura @AngelaScholder @dps910 @wboss Yet another reason to install #TinyCoreLinux or #BunselnLabsLinux on an external USB falshdrive, like a Verbatim Store'n'Stay or SanDisk Cruzer Fit.

#Ventoy supports #SecureBoot when setup with it in mind and resetting the #UEFI by popping the battery for a minute will usually do the trick.

@yura @dps910 @wboss On those you could install @bunsenlabs or #TinyCoreLinux and they still have a useable system.

• In fact I do run that on a #VAIO #P11Z with the slow af #Atom #Z520 and the crappy #GMA500!

Sorry, but you didn't expect even a beefy PC from 1998 to be useable in 2016, so I can't fault a 2008 #Netbook for being EoL in 2026.

• For contect: If that Netbook was a human it would be legal for it to buy itself a beer, if not liquor in Germany!
• Seriously, do consider setting up some lightweight #Linux distro instead, cuz chances are the users of that machine only want to use it for small, lightweight tasks.
  • It'll take you like am hour or two to introduce them to it but drill down to them that #Windows7 is as much of a non-option as Tetraetyllead inbgasoline or Asbestos for oven mittens!

I mean, they don't expect to play Crysis on that thing, or are they that deranged?

@monkey well, I do have the same issue.

I'm working on @OS1337 for that reason.

• But if you want more than 80x25 MDA, consider @bunsenlabs / #BunsenLabsLinux, which is a #32bit-available #Debian-based distro. ¹

  • If that's too sluggish, consider #RaspberryPiOS of Desktop PCs ² and #TinyCoreLinux TinyCorePlus ³.
