W-Who robbed you anon
>>56361471
Maybe install mate on it and it might become usuable for basic tasks?
We dont actually know anything on here, we just install and uninstall OS's
>>56361471
You're a makifag, so nothing of value was lost.

3 dudes got into my house and stole the little shit I had
>>56361504

>>56361471

Install Palememe for Xp/Intel Atom so (At least) you can shitpost properly
Any Linux distro with WM/lightweight DE
Did you really need to ask nigger
Maki robbed my heart!
Maki robbed my virginity
not even bullshitting, get either a used thinkpad or one of those dell optiplex computers with i5 to recover from this
T430 can be found with 8gb of ram and an SSD for $200 flat from a refurber, so it will also come with new KB and other things that were damaged
here is an example of a good used dell

now tell me OP, i am not being snarky here, I am legitimately interested
did you get burgled, or actually robbed? are you aware of the difference between a robbery and a burglary?
do you live in a house, apartment?
do you live alone?
are you in the US? if so, what city?
>>56361471
Serves you right for making Maki threads.

You can get a $300 pc easily nowadays, all new parts with decent specs.
4 GB RAM (ddr3) = $25
Motherboard = $45-$70
A better CPU (dual core 2.5+GHz, or better) = $80-$150
A GPU (optional, but recommended, 1GB usually) = $40-$60
You probably have a case and PSU, you should also invest into more storage. That's a cheap and usable PC (anything other than extreme gaming and heavy programs), didn't list parts because I don't know what's available in your area but I can get that here in europoor where tech prices are higher, just check your local suppliers and compatible parts. You can also buy used parts or used pre-built PC's, who knows maybe you even buy your old PC from the guys who stole it :^)

or just buy an optiplex like one with a core 2 and stick an old gtx inside of it :^)))))) XD
>>56362513
no, not core 2
get one with 2nd or 3rd gen i5, they can be found for sub $200
Hey man, check out distrowatch and read up on puppy linux and bodhi linux. You might find other distros that suit your needs, but those two spring to mind immediately.
