quad core laptops with IPS screens that can run up to 16 GB are like $50 nowadays. throw it out.

Feel free to send me the $50 bucks and I’ll buy one. I still won’t throw out perfectly functional hardware. Until then I’ll make use of what I have, thank you very much.


Didn’t realise I walked into comedy central.


By “stable” I mean that for the majority of the time I will not have any electricity or internet. My use case explicitly requires battery and offline software.


I’ll be away from both stable electricity and stable internet so I can’t just ditch a battery.


Anybody have good guides on repurposing old 32bit laptops?
I have this 11 year old oddly resistant Pentium laptop and I'm thinking of turning it into a reading/light-programming tool. It used to run great back in the day but modern software has gotten so bloated that it can barely run GNOME with Firefox, so I was thinking of sticking to command line only. Is there anything specific I should look into? In specific I mainly only want to be able to download and read mdbooks in the terminal, probably using archlinux32 as the OS (or maybe LFS?). Captcha abuse and all that javascript already ruined browsing with Lynx so I have little hopes of actually browsing the web. I also intend to get a new battery as it only lasts 1-2 hours nowadays. Any other 32bit/tty-only customisation guides are also welcome.
