OpenRCT2 runs great on here! The crappy Intel graphics can even handle the OpenGL setting. Ok, this thing is officially revived now. Internet, a couple of games, and an office suite? What more could I ask for. This is going to be my coffee shop device again.
I seriously loved this thing when I was using it. It was my only laptop for years. I have desktops wherever I need a computer in the house, this was just a little thing take around. Then, the Windows updates really started slowing it down… Windows was bloating to take up most of the 32GB of internal storage. I tried replacing it with a 11" Android tablet, but Android is not a PC. Even with a keyboard and mouse, and the Taskbar launcher, it felt like it was just LARPing as a laptop.
Well, I couldn’t wait. I tried a lot of distros. Some lightweight, some not. Including Fedora LXDE, which ran great but was not very pretty. I ended up settling on Lubuntu LTS. It was a very nice balance between performance and looks. Only uses about 500 MB of my precious 2 GB of ram. Even with Firefox open, it only hits 1 GB. LXQt seems pretty nice so far! This is so much faster than Win10 on here. Man, this thing is so weak. Ok, I’m tired. Here’s some pics. I am posting from the Flexx now.
Added 35% transparency to the terminal to match the sombre-et-rond theme for LXQt
Also, don’t need Minecraft. Luanti works just fine!

Well, I’m glad I looked at this again! It seems there has been progress! I know what I’m doing this weekend.
