That’s a little annoying with all the others not working. Haven’t seriously tried most of them so I’m afraid I can’t really help you there - though if you ever try Q4OS that others have suggested let me know if it works well cause I may give that a whirl too on the little eee.

If you decide to stick with antix, I could maybe see if I find some of my old notes. I vaguely remember the wifi giving me some trouble and the homebrewed settings panels of the distro can be… a little funky :-)

Good luck!

I was running AntiX out of your list on my old atom eee-pc pretty successfully the last 2-3 years. Was using it as a workbench pc with an old vga screen and keyboard connected, and it worked well enough for simple pdf /datasheet reading and terminal sessions.

For specs, I think it was the same cpu but only 1gb of ram. Honestly with 2gb of ram your options are much broader, the one part you’ll run into trouble with is the browser with multiple tabs anyway. I thought to remember there was also a community-maintained 32bit Archlinux variant?

Edit: https://www.archlinux32.org/ that’s the one I believe. It has a more restricted package repo but otherwise is just Arch.

Shes the only one in the house with nvidia, which tbf, has been just perfect for her needs up to this point.

If you spend any amount of time at all in various Linux meme or Linux newcomer communities you’ll quickly see that this is one of the issues plaguing people switching over.

That’s not a dig at you but to make you realise how big and well known the issue is. The reason it persists is because nvidia refuses to play nice with Linux or an open source environment, presumably for monopolistic licensing issues.

The issue is large enough that there’s even a fairly famous video of the creator of Linux specifically giving a very vocal ‘fuck you nvidia’ middle finge specifically for their efforts at hindering cooperation with Linux at all.

Huh, that’s a super interesting system. If you’re 18 can you also directly go to A2 or is it all gradual from one to the next?

Is there a specific reason you are spamming the same single-line accusatory comment 7 times in this thread?

Combined with your account only being 10 days old if there’s not more substance to a spammed accusation like that I’ll just have to assume bad faith and block.

Actually, I don’t. What am I looking at?

It definitely used to be the case, you are right, always had to dkms the binder module.

But it seems they come baked into the kernel nowadays, according to ArchWiki.
