So i got my old laptop dug out and threw a new battery in. Decided to put cachyOS on it since I wanted to try it

It does pretty well considering its only a turion x2 and 3gb of ram. But im not all sure what to do with it. Its not worth selling as its a bit slow for a normal person to put up with, it works find for playing dvds and such. Maybe I could use it for messing with light programming learning? Not sure

What would yall do?

*side note, if anyone knows why sound wont work, id appreciate a fix…it appears to not see any audio devices. Its an hp laptop (g60 i think) originally had vista.

    Not really. If it was power efficient, MAYBE, but it’s not because it’s a super old chip AND a laptop. It’s a vampire device.

    You can buy a 6W minipc for like $40 tat6would be more useful.
