Ok /g/ I have an Acer Aspire 5050 with a Single core amd chip

Lubuntu / Xubuntu / Ubuntu MATE is best choice for your old laptop.
And your can trimming down it.

>>57600891
Looks like you're in the need for LFS or Plan 9

>>57600914
*you
>>57600934
LFS is confusing and taking time so much to configure it.
i know, its best because you can make your own minimal Linux installation.

>>57600914
I tried lubantoo but it just felt..... empty. Xubuntu is too much for it and I haven't tried Mate, i'll look into it.
>>57600934
I'd rather learn WM's than LFS
>>57600956
Ok, so I just install xubuntu on it and trim down? alright

>>57600934
op if you dont have any prior experience with LFS don't do it
especially since the documentation isn't kept up to date all that well and there's some typos/missing info in the commands you need to run. it's a huge pain

damn small linux isn't too bad
q4os is ok too but if you want a more traditional alternative LUbuntu should be ok
i run it on an ancient 2005 thinkpad and it runs just fine

Just use the framebuffer and be amazed how much you can get working on that old hardware.

I've had my pi1 (with 512mb, of which 128 went to graphics) and had, with tmux, about 15 programs spread across the "desktops" and in the multiplexor.

>>57600988
i3 or awesome is what I'd recommend =)


LFS is for everyone. You should never be too scared/intimidated to install an OS.

>>57601040
alright, anon. I'll look into q4os

>>57601054
Don't WM's require scripting to be setup properly? I just want the half-tiling W10 has or even a floating WM, but the configs are too much work for this lazy asshole who hasn't even learnt C

Use nLite to make a minimal XP install.

Install DOSBox.

Have it boot straight to DOSBox

Have an awesome retro gaming PC.

>>57601089
i miss nlite so much XD

>>57600988
or LXLE, its included to much preinstalled applications.

>>57601080
Use Openbox then, then use ObConf and ObMenu to set everything up.

>>57601089
not a bad idea anon, but I don't like the idea of XP since it has been found to have many vulnerabilities.

>>57601113
seems like the correct answer

>>57601116
Only if you go online.

Specs like that will get ruined by the modern web, so you likely wont be doing that anyway.

>>57601143
>so you likely wont be doing that anyway.
I dunno, i wanted to make it a shitposting machine. If that isn't viable I'll just leave it running with no GUI and use it as a terminal

>>57601164
Having a minimal TUI install will make that thing fly.

Besides, there's no reason you can't do both. That's what drive partitions are for.

You just wont be running any JS on that is all.

>>57601190
>minimal TUI install
what did he mean by this (what the fuck is a TUI)

>>57601214
If GUI is Graphical User Interface, what do you think a TUI is?

>>57601237
nvm im a retard. Thanks anon, but how would I pull off a browser in a TUI?

>>57601261
>he's never heard of lynx

>>57601312
As stated before, I'm a retard that has only dabbled in Ubangoo and Arch a few times(arch-anywhere)

>>57601261
w3m and lynx is a browser m8.
oh, i think you can try Puppy Linux, Slax Linux, or Slitaz.
