I would love to on my cheap-ass Nextbook Flexx 10. But the last time I heard anybody tried Linux on it, there was almost no driver support for it. I love how small it is, I don’t care if all i can do on it is browse the web slowly and maybe run LibreOffice.
As slow as it is, it looks actually really cool. If this had modern specs it would be fire. It’s running win10? At least it’s somewhat decent.
You can run minecraft 1.12 with optifine if you have enough space. It’s a very specific information that I know.
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.
OpenCIV should run fine, if I remember correctly it’s an open source game inspired by Civ 4 or any of the Civ classics. I never understood that game, because it is not intuitive, but it’s one of the best open source games
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!
I really wanted to but couldn’t get it to work; it seems awesome! For some reason I couldn’t get my old MacBook to recognize it as bootable. I should try again sometime.
Do any of you run puppy linux on extra bad hardware?
I am aware of lubuntu and the lightweight installatiion of mint, but I wanted to remind others that it exists.

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