this would make a great little distraction free type writer or learning environment where you have pdfs downloaded or something. There’s still some 32-bit Linux distributions out there and will be for a while yet
Try puppy Linux 32 bit or Damn small Linux 2024 version or maybe tiny core linux I think steam still supports some of these. So you could effective have a modern 2004 gaming hybrid system. There is a damn small linux 2024 video on TH-cam Antix linux is another one people run on old machines (also on TH-cam) Its weird watching modern os on older machines.😊
Also, on Linux. No games will work at all. Even it struggles with web browsing. In Windows XP, there is called MyPal 68 which I can watch TH-cam smoothly in there.
@@matcentrino7602 I have a pentium m 715 sitting here (2004) I'll give it a go... First. I remember playing unreal tournament 3 on a 2005 laptop so... 🤔🙃 I have had Linux running on my 2004 gear... But just never install steam
you could theoretically use an alternative frontend for youtube like invidious or piped, but since youtube has decided to start changing their apis to intentionally make it hard for these frontends to actually grab data it isn't exactly an option right now.
@@bopiverse dont worry, I bought the small PATA SSD from Panorama Circle video. It will make the laptop faster. I will make the video after the parts arrived.

Well... Certainly not a midnight video I didnt expect to find.

You can RUN classic games. Web Browsing you can. But not TH-cam.

@@bopiverse this laptop is EXTREMELY slow to run modern youtube. Only be able to run MP4 360p
@@matcentrino7602 just reduce the browser window and it will look like 1080p60 in seconds.. sorta XD
