in today’s episode of slow computing with Kansei: windows xp refresh on an AMD Sempron with a 2006 OS install date (and WD rust).

Then, we put @elementary on a 4th gen i5 MacBook Pro to see how well this decade old system works as a “slow compute” focused workstation for singletasking. Hands down the easiest and most complete installer experience I’ve seen from a distro, including getting the notorious broadcom wifi working without requiring an ethernet dongle. All the little design details show care is put into making it an inclusive distro. While normally I’d pass on anything Ubuntu LTS-based, this opinionated stance is lovely.
