    I figured as much. These are things that were given to me as an “otherwise it goes in the landfill” package deal. a couple have klipper over dietpi for my 3d printers but the rest are seemigly junk and I’ll probbaly toss them in the electronics section at the recycle depot next time I go there

      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managed to extract some usefulness out of a borderline e-waste Android tablet running some flavor of Jelly Bean, so outdated you couldn’t connect to most websites due to bad TLS certs, by running a Alpine Container on it.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.
