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managed to extract some usefulness out of a borderline e-waste Android tablet running some flavor of Jelly Bean, so outdated you couldn’t connect to most websites due to bad TLS certs, by running a Alpine Container on it.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