@andymccall I see. I'm just asking because recently I revived an Ausus EeePC with a 32 bit MXLinux.
#DamnSmallLinux revived an aging #EeePC. Here’s how to use it to resurrect any old computer.
Damn Small Linux 2024 Alpha is based on #Debian and antiX, DSL uses Fluxbox and JWM window managers. There is a limited range of pre-installed software, covering web browsers, text editors, code editors, media playback and email. Because it is a Debian-based system, we can install applications using the apt package manager.

Tom's Hardware · Damn Small Linux revived my aging Eee PC. Here’s how to use it to resurrect any old computer.Even an 18-year-old netbook can browse the modern web.
#WhatsMissing: A simple, #FrutigerAero-themed, #LowDPI-compatible #Linux #distro / #desktop!
- Because for #TechIlliterates, #Xandros on the #EeePC was "peak #LinuxDesktop"!
And modern-day #distros really need to reconsider that!

After the bootloader fix it works on the Eee PC 701

@Linux @BrodieOnLinux @rejzor the best #Linux experience any #distro delivered was the #EeePC 701 4G's custom #Xandros Desktop.
- Nothing to this day comes close in terms of "user friendlyness" aiming at "#TechIlliterates".
It's basically peak #FrutigerAero and it ran off 256MB RAM!
- We really could taka a page from it's book!

@notthatdelta reminds me that I need to work on @OS1337 and make a image for the #EeePC701-4G...
I found another old EeePC. I think this is a 901 and originally ran Windows. Seems I installed the “Raspberry Pi Desktop Edition” back around 2018 or so…
Here's a 2008 photo of me taken from the EeePC 701 when I was using it to capture time lapses... Maybe I should set it up for that again but with an external camera...
How is your Saturday evening going?
I found my old Asus EeePC 701 (the original netbook!) and it booted up into Ubuntu, which I think I installed in 2018. Battery is totally dead and WiFi networking doesn’t seem to work… may need to plug in Ethernet. But what should I actually do with it?
Für die Kinder den #eeePC aus dem Gerümpel gefischt. Bootet. Ist ist #Ubuntu 11.10 drauf 
Hardware: Intel Atom N270 1,16GHz, 1Gb RAM, 14,8 GB SSD
Gibt's was aktuelles, was da halbwegs flüssig drauf läuft?
Ist das schon #retrocomputing ?
Mit dem Ding hab ich damals™ mobil getwittert, da ich mir das Modell mit SIM-Slot gegönnt hatte 
decio Toujours impressionné par la qualité du travail de BunsenLabs Linux ( @bunsenlabs ) ! 
J'ai mis à jour un eee PC 900 (i386) de 2009 vers leur dernière version Boron
bunsenlabs.org
Basée sur la puissante & mighty Debian 
Doté de Kernel pae 6.1 ! 
Tout fonctionne parfaitement, même sur cette vieille micro-machine riquiqui ! 
ça en fait un terminal minimaliste très geek, avec une interface modulable et un système Openbox rapide et ergonomique.

@ustralien Sadly no, and that's my big disappointment!
@frameworkcomputer decided to choose the #Apple-esque "flat cells below #trackpad" design in the unreasonable #THINN-ness race instead of doing what even the #EeePC and #Sony's #Vaio #P11Z did and have a slot at the back to chug in batteries!
- I know why they did it, as a closed aluminium pan aka. "#lunchbox" design is easier to fabricate, but I'd rather some #ToolfreeSwappableBattery which are IMHO of more practicality than having the ability to swap out every port.
Not that I don't like those #modules, but I'd rather wish for a "#THICC-er" device if that gets me essentials like #Ethernet, #USB-A & -C as well as a #TRRS #HeadphoneJack / #HeadsetJack.
- I mean, I understand they won't make space for a underslung #Dock, a #Slimline - #ODD or god forbid #ExpressCard, and in terms of #tech I'd welcome #Thunderbolt over #OCuLink, but there's a reason I've not canceled the #NUCbook and if I didn't have to buy/procure #COTS products I'd likely just buy a #Pi500 with a #Powerbank and screen slapped on...
That being said the #Framework is still by a long margin the "least #enshittified" device on the market, and same goes for the #Fairphone devices...
- I just wished #FrameworkLaptop and Fairphone were just refusing the #Enshittification trend entirely, cuz I'd rather have a #Toughbook-Style device made out of #Thinkpadnium or even better #Nokianite than some fancy Aluminium stuff if that makes it more #repairable, #upradeable and espechally doesn't result in a #Downgrade.
Not to mention they don't have an #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint and I do use that instead of a Trackpad.
- The only reason I'm not daily driving my #P11Z anymore is because until I got @OS1337 into a useable state it's hardware, which was already #LowEnd at launch, can barely run @bunsenlabs and thus is not an option for #DailyDriving #Linux #Desktop workflows anyways...
I feel this video by Posy about the design of his first laptop, because just as for me, it was a #netbook. Although I had an Asus #EeePC. I wrote my first paid websites on that machine. And its high portability served me well during a tumultuous period of my life.

#eeepc #windowsxp #retrocomputing
The instructions are oddly specific though... "Discharge to 2%, BUT NOT to 0% or bad things will happen!!!"
Ok, I guess I'll sit here and stare at the battery indicator until it reaches 2% and then power it off as fast as I can before it explodes 
New battery for this little guy 
The black looks slightly weird from the back, but since the display bezel is also black, it doesn't actually look out of place when the computer is open.

Booted up my old laptop from 2010.
An ASUS EeePC (1005NA, 32bit, single core Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz, 1GB) running Arch Linux (Linux 2.6.35) with dwm and dmenu as the desktop environment, it's the only laptop I've ever bought for myself ($250 second hand in 2008)
It's just been in a box since 2010. I spilled Strawberry milk on it and broke the keyboard and then I got a job where they bought me a high end MacBook Pro and so has every job since.

@OpenComputeDesign same with many other things.
#GluedInBatteries instead of #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries are just an #excuse for #AntiRepairDesign. points at #Vaio #P11Z & #Fairphone #FP3plus
#SolderedDownRAM & #SolderedDownSSDs were never valid outside #EmbeddedDevices that need to survive harsh envoirments. points at a rugged, ATEX-certified PTT radio for industrial plants
#Repairability saves lives! points at Medical Devices
Want to have more #battery #runtime? We have solutions for that for decades. points at #EeePC and a tool-free, swappable, #aftermarket, high-capavity battery
Personally I'm so pissed off amidst the ongoing #Enshittification that I really need to get the #NUCbook off the ground before my #X230tablet dies.

- Tho if I had to choose a #Laptop right now that I can buy in stores I'd pick the @frameworkcomputer / #Framework13 hands-down because it's (sadly!) the by far best #Notebook in terms of #repairability & #maintainability!
