| From: Anthony de Boer via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | I have an even older notebook with a 32-bit Atom processor.
Are you sure that it is older? The Atom was introduced in 2008, the year after I bought my notebook. The first Asus Eee PC preceded the Atom and used Intel Celeron M procesors. | It used to be | useful, but after upgrading to the latest (Debian Bullseye) Firefox | barely starts and is glacial enough to be totally unusable. Older | Firefox did run reasonably on that hardware, but software keeps assuming | better hardware as it grows. | | There may be roles like serial console or network debugger for a box | like that. Or stick with an older Linux contemporary to the hardware; | sometimes bits of old software need an older libc or such and it can be | handy to have a retro-system in reach. Stop giving me excuses to keep it :-) Browsers seem to continuously get hungrier but I actually think that it is insane web developers who eat my systems. --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
