I have been gifted a few ancient laptops from the stone age (2005-2014). Any ideas on what I can do with them? Are there any modern Linux distros that would run on old hardware like this? I’ll take any suggestions this wonderful community has to offer.
Edit: The laptops are:
- HP 2133 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_2133_Mini-Note_PC
- Dell Inspiron 1545 https://www.itechguides.com/product-specs/dell-inspiron-1545-specs/
- Dell Inspiron 15 3537 https://www.productindetail.com/pn/dell-inspiron-15-3537
- Toshiba C55-A5286 https://www.productindetail.com/pn/toshiba-satellite-c55-a-1n4
The most important thing is whether it’s 32 or 64 bit. If it’s 32 bit you’re going to need a special distribution for 32 bit computers. 64 bit you’re probably fine with just about anything honestly.
