If you just want to play around with it, I highly recommend some arch based distro (because you can find plenty of obscure TUI apps in the AUR) with a window manager (be it tiling like Qtile or stacking like Openbox).
If you want something preconfigured, I've recently found instantOS, which seems to work fine for that usecase.
I use this small laptop mostly for ebooks (using the excellent epy) and music, using one ot the TUI YouTube frontends.
Can't see anyone mentioning this, but have you tried the johncena releases on 1337x?
All of them are neatly compressed, don't need Steam and I haven't seen a single one that doesn't work out of the box on Manjaro.
Probably offtopic, but are there any popular old android tablets that run linux proper?
This. They are actually not accurate because of regulations.
Unfortunately because of the digital spedometer, the analog one usually suffers.
My mid-2010s c-class has an analog spedometer which is absolutely useless as it does not have a full needle and the fonts, spacing and colors are made to blend in with the interior instead of being readable.
All this makes me use the digital one, which is very distracting and usually lagging behind, especially when quickly accelerating.
~~A pihole then?~~ my bad, it can't.
You can sqeeze plenty of use from these laptops, especially the really light ones.
My gf works as an arts teacher in a primary school and needed something very small and light that she could carry every day to school.
The usage is mostly very light browsing (the school system, some Pinterest), showing the kids some reference images and the ocasional document editing and printing.
For a piece if what essentially is e-waste it handles that admirably, and because of the atom processor it sips power, which still gives it a few hours of battery life after about 10 yeas of ownership.
Tldr: Don't underestimate how useful an old laptop running a minimal linux disto can be for a casual user.
Ah, I miss Unity so much. To this day I still can't get over how useful the HUD was and really don't know why no one else implemented it.
You can upvote yourself on most platforms. You can like yourself on Facebook, you can give yourself a heart on Instagram. It's just not considered very tasteful as it is off by default.
My guess would be that it's kind of pointless to implement checks if the liker is also the poster just to prevent them from liking themself.
Pray tell, good sir or madam, might I inquire if you, in all your noble magnificence, can lay claim to a distinguished position within the hallowed ranks of the illustrious landed gentry of Reddit?
A reinstall fixed this for me, but broke my ability to subscribe to communities and post comments.
Edit: After a bit of browsing it broke again and now I can't subscribe and comment AND rearrange the feed.
Recently found out about ouch. Found it really useful for decompressing files in the terminal as I can't seem to remember all the flags for tar, gzip, zip, rar and all the rest one may encounter which all seem to use different syntax.
