I recently got a 10 dollar working netbook from a thiftstore. It has 2 ram and is from 2010 but isint the up-gradable version. Im wondering what os to run on it do i go with something like a android build or a linux setup? Im could also use some neat use cases. Ive thought about doing retro game on it but there are possible better solutions?

    It’s not hard to make Linux run on 2GB of RAM. The hard part is getting a web browser to run on 2GB without constantly swapping.

      Define Linux. The most basic kernel for a given hardware set, a console emulator and a lightweight alternative libc busybox package? Yes.
      An up-to-date desktop suite? Hardly so.
