What are your thoughts on using the Eee PC 1005PX for basic tasks today? It's from around 2010 and it's still working. Though all the Raspberry Pis have better specs... What OS would you install?

Specs:
Intel Atom® N450 1.66 GHz Processor cores: 1 25.6 cm (10.1") 1024 x 600 pixels 5:3 1 GB DDR2-SDRAM 250 GB Ethernet LAN Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) 8.5 h

Install Debian with an LXDE or LXQT desktop manager.
