I use Bunsenlabs and like it a lot

The atom cpu in this has a powervr sgx545 gpu which is barely supported by anything. Ubuntu 12.04 has some support but it's only 2d acceleration.

But the last release for it will be in December.

There is the fork mentioned in the forum post here.

I don't use Syncthing and don't have an Android phone so I can't really speak for it in terms of functionality.

Id make it 2 or 3 gb. That being said, 1 gb is fine for such a light install. I have a similarly specced pentium M machine running modern debian with OpenBox. For heavier tasks, it was hitting swap (using a web browser). Upping it to 2 gb ram fixed that.

Edit: this also came with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 gpu which probably has a bit more support than the PowerVR gpu in the Atom.

There's quite a few. I have bunsenlabs helium installed on a 32 bit pentium M laptop. It's very usable, for a 20 yo single core machine. For basic things, it's still fine. I do have some gpu acceleration though which is a benefit.

Look, I like 1 indices languages like R and Lua.

Yup it's Tumblr

Idk about other places but in Pittsburgh, they just dropped. I wonder if it was the constant freeze thaw cycles causing the decline here. . They were hatching in like November of 2023 but a lot of the adults were dying attached to trees when the temps dropped below freezing.

OpenBox but that's a window manager, not a DE.

At least on my pavilion, it's just one simple daughter board for one of the USB ports. It's the one I use the most. I can replace it easily if it breaks. The pcb is also very simple so it ends up being very cheap.

The square shaped one threw me for a loop the first time I worked in a computer with one.

Very Andersen powerpole esque

In my experience, USB c is soldered to the main board while the plug is a small module thats attached to the module. It's easier to replace a small module than replace a whole USB c port. Ideally it'd be on a seperate board too. But it might be a bit more complex.

My sister broke one of the two USB c ports on her Thinkpad and if the second one breaks (both support charging), I can't fix it easily without sending the motherboard out for repair and spending like $200.

Edit: you can support both USB c and DC plugs. My laptop can (HP pavilion).

Yeah but then it isn't as light (but 250 grams is nothing tbh). The 64Wh one is 888 grams. Still less than a kilo which is very impressive. Just under 2 lbs.

I also hate the lack of USB ports now. That's about average for the "nice" laptops of this day and age. I hate juggling around my peripherals bc I don't have enough type c ports. I do hope it's a barrel plug for charging and not only USB C pd.
