From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have like 10 old laptops that I mess around with. Got various Linux distros on them.
I have patience as I know some of these machines are older.
I’m basically going to say for me. Specs doesn’t matter. What matter is a good quality display. I value that highly for web browsing. Yes, all the laptops I have here have shitty displays 😞
I have a couple of old tablet/convertable netbooks. They have quite nice displays, just small. 2GB RAM and Intel Atom CPUs. They are quite slow but the display more than makes up for it heh. (HP and an old MS Surface)
