does anybody know a distro that will make a T42 work?
Distro suitable for an T42 old thinkpad
All of them. It's an x86 laptop not a DEC PRISM workstation. Just install one and then remove shit that slows it down.
gnu guix
gentoo
antix
>7
will be compiling for days
Windows NT 3.1
Just choose something with a lightweight DE, like lubuntu
Void with a lightweight DE or WM
Genuinely use gentoo, any speed improvement will be worth it. Just keep it near a window for a few days
openbased
i have compiled gnu guix with is way more bloated than gentoo with dwm and it only took less than a day
on a thinkpad t41
netbsd
i forgot about trying bsd
thank you
No OS more modern than Windows XP runs well on it, that's the sad truth.
Lubuntu runs like shit, lack of PAE is also annoying.
Thanks Luke
could you explain how PAE exactly shows up in softwaare you run daily?
this or LXLE
Gentoo. I was running Gentoo on a T41p for years.
