the original white based from 2017 is still slow. but makes a wonderful focused environment. and it runs with solarpower ;)

@stereo @PINE64 It's quad-core and has two gigs of RAM! How's that slow? 😲
I have this thing: social.librem.one/@m0xee/11047
It's a dual-core ARM netbook with only 512 Mb RAM and I still don't think that it's useless. It doesn't even have NEON, that is precisely why I've had to rebuild the whole Void system from scratch to run on it 🤣
I think I'd actually use it more once I figure out a way to fix suspend to RAM. Maybe I'll even replace the panel with a better one and the battery.

Librem Socialm0xEE (@m0xee@librem.one)Attached: 1 image Okay, now it's running Void and Linux kernel 6.3 to boot! Illegal instruction occurred because some packages in Void (surprisingly, including gcc) redefine CFLAGS set in common/cross-profiles, this is why even basic stuff like procps-ng gets built broken with wrong ones. Now I'm in the process of making a build template for accelerated X server for Tegra: https://github.com/grate-driver/xf86-video-opentegra Cross-building is sure complex, some such packages are marked as nocross in Void. Well, I can always build natively 😁

@m0xee wonderful, yes thats a different shade of slow. and both are perfect for writing and reading xor

@m0xee fun fact: in german the word "arm" translates to "poor" ;)

@stereo I didn't know that, It's hilarious! And kinda makes sense.
Well, except for top shelf stuff like Ampere Altra 😄

@stereo Yeah, exactly what I was aiming for with mine! Gemini browsing with amfora and lightweight web, I have w3m with images working in a sixel-capable st, Matrix chats with gomuks and Fedi with tut. I use the same TUI software on my more capable machines, but it's all so lightweight that they even work on this one and with zram even at the same time. Even surf works and I'm able to browse Twitter via Nitter, it's slow-ish, but bearable. All in all, it's still a capable machines for its niche😂

@stereo Mine even has a 3G modem built-in and I have a SIM-card with unlimited, albeit slow, data plan. Also even with its battery at only half of its original capacity, I can still get 3 hours of juice out of it — I'm pretty sure I'll find uses for it. The only problem, like I said, suspend to RAM is bugged, it used to work with Linux 5.4 kernels, but it would be real nice to get it to work with at least 6.1 ones.

> PCOfficina sets what might seem like some quite high bars for the equipment that it refurbishes and issues. Its minimum spec is a Core i3 processor or equivalent, eight gigs of ram, and a 128GB SATA drive – ideally an SSD

Damn, most computers I still find usable do not even meet their spec to be considered 'trashware' 😂
