minus-squareQuazatron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoMy favorite way of reviving ancient 32 bit hardware is installing Haiku. It’s such a cool little OS, even if it can’t do all the tasks modern Linux can.
minus-squareLeFantome@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoHaiku is getting pretty nice actually. With the Falkon browser, it may be getting pretty close to daily drivable for a lot of people. I agree that it is a cool little system. I think the 32 bit version is still compatible with BeOS though I have not tried that in a while. Hardware support is a bigger impediment than functionality at this point.
