Just wanted to show off the lowest end hardware I ever ran Linux on
Single core, 32 bit CPU, can't even do video playback on VLC. But it kinda works for some offline work, like text editing, and even emulation through zsnes! It's crazy how Linux keeps old hardware like this running.
Thankfully though, this laptop CPU is upgradable, and so is the ram, so I'm planning on revitalizing and bringing this old Itautec to the 21st century đ

My 2011 MacBook pro is still chugging along thanks to Linux.
I upgraded 4GB RAM to 16GB, upgraded the HDD to SSD, and replaced the CD drive with a second SSD. Sadly the screen is almost completely gone, occasionally intermittent, probably a cable gone bad, not sure, but the mini display port is working fine for an external monitor.
My girlfriendâs 2012 MacBook Pro is also running Fedora like a beast with its upgraded 16GB or Ram and its SSD.
Itâs great that old hardware gets a bew chance to shine!
I found my people.
I have Linux on a 2009 and 2012 MacBook Pro and 2013 and 2017 MacBook Airs.
The 2009 is getting a bit sluggish but for regular stuff, they all work great. We even played a Steam game on the 2012 earlier today (not AAA obviously).
All Chimera Linux.
Did the same thing with my Thinkpad, 1 tb SSD, 20gb ram (16 gig stick and 4 soldered on) and an upgrade wifi card. Best computer I've ever had
