found an acer aspire one in the trash... 1 gig of ram. what builds can i actually consider?

i wanna install linux on this thing right now, i already tried windows 10 and lets just say, NO. it did not like that, not at all. 1 gig of ram is a totally different ballpark it seems.

i was thinking kali but not sure if its too big. anything and everything as far as ideas go are appreciated as loong as you figure it'll work on the acer aspire one.

I finally get it you guys.

Twenty years ago, when my friends who were serious about coding all switched to linux, I resisted. I want to play my video games in the same OS where I code, I said. In college, while learning to code, I still resisted, not learning bash, sticking to my guns.

For the last decade, working my fancy corporate data job, I resisted. "My IDEs work, and our linux dev laptops are too annoying anyway" I said. At home, I said "I want to play my video games with no problems more than I want to get rid of everything terrible about windows"

And so my windows setup has grown, with one customization app after another. Synergy, to share mouse and keyboard among my various computers/monitors. DisplayFusion, to wrest some vestige of control from the tyranny of explorer and its awful edge-pushing, heavy handed, "your grandma should be able to use this" oriented approach to UI. Endless struggles trying to implement custom keyboard shortcuts for everything I want.

Hell no, these last few months as I semi-retired and started coding as a full time hobby, it became too much. I dipped my toe with a distro that looked and acted like windows, then said "why don't I just set it up like I really want?". And now I can't stop scrolling through r/unixporn.

I'm sure in no time, I will have my desktop environment setup and be entirely satisfied with it, just like all of you guys.

Right?

...Right?

Today I Learned….

That there is a Linux version of Edge and 2.4mil Flatpak downloads!!
Huh, who knew…….
I used Brave because it came with Zorin, but after upgrading my hardware compatibility was atrocious. Switched to Fed42 and very happy with it. Back to Firefox.

Gentoo running on a Toshiba Satellite 300CDS from 1998

Hi, I was able to install Gentoo Linux on a very old laptop from (probably) 1998. It's not the most complete install, some stuff doesn't fully work, but it boots, and that's the most important part :)

The Toshiba 300CDS has a Pentium with MMX cpu, 48MB of ram (16MB soldered + 32MB extra). I thought ram would be the most important problem, but in the end, after compiling the kernel it used only 15MB on idle.

I installed and compiled everything in a vm. Huge thanks to this for pointing me in the right direction. It was my first time installing gentoo, so the guide made it very easy. It had a .config file for compiling the kernel, which was very helpful. In the end I compiled about 5 kernels before it actually booted. I was getting kernel panics about the system being unable to mount the root partition. I used the latest stable kernel as of now (6.12.21) and tested an older one as well (5.10.233; I was getting more issues on that one).

Then I had to image the drive. I don't have an adapter for IDE to USB, so I had to use another laptop to image the drive (USB drive -> other laptop with Plop Linux booted from a CD -> target drive -> Toshiba laptop). It was kinda annoying swapping the drives.

\(yes, the PS\/2 cables in the background are connected properly\)

It takes about 2 minutes and 18 seconds to boot. If you want the see the whole startup/shutdown sequence, you can check it out here.
