I recently got a 10 dollar working netbook from a thiftstore. It has 2 ram and is from 2010 but isint the up-gradable version. Im wondering what os to run on it do i go with something like a android build or a linux setup? Im could also use some neat use cases. Ive thought about doing retro game on it but there are possible better solutions?

    You totally beat me to it. This was going to be my recommendation.

    You may even choose the 32 version which will be dramatically more memory efficient. Not everything is available but probably everything you need.

    It is possible that hardware from 2010 requires a 32 bit OS anyway. 64 bit only appeared a couple of years before and low end systems could still be 32 bit.
