        nah, for old computers, you can’t get anything better than MenuetOS or its fork, KolibriOS. That will run on my flipflops too. recommended system requirements: Pentium MMX (this is literally from 1997), 32 mb ram (yes, you read that right), 1.4 mb (entire operating system size with preinstalled programs, yes it is something else), any vga adapter released after 1995

      Download the Windows 11 ISO and tick an option to mitigate the new requirements in Rufus. That’s all you have to do. Or download the Windows 10 IoT iso from massgrave. Supported until 2030-something.

        I think it needs to be retired. I strictly using it for streaming shows and it’s about a 30% chance that I have to do a hard reboot for that to work. It’s had 2 factory resets and a number of internal cleanings. It’s dying bro. It’s time to put it down

          Fair enough. Tho if you do discover some functional hardware that’s unsupported by W11, know that you don’t have to turn to Linux at all.
