Puppy Linux is a light ram usage distro that only needs 512mb of ram to run. It's what I would use on older hardware a lot.
And I thank them for finally pushing me to fully adopt Linux as my main OS, although they did that months ago when I 'upgraded' to Windows 10 and my frustrations with Windows began (8.1 wasn't to bad really). This just seals the deal.
It's absolutely bonkers. I met a 16 year old guy who is pretty sharp and politically active, he told me he wanted to run when he is of age to, he tried to play rope a dope with me about how the Jan 6 insurrection was a "protest" and how Trump had no culpability in fomenting the insurrection. I told him, in no uncertain terms, if you can't admit to the greatest modern threat to democracy then you should never run for political office.
