I was thinking the same thing. I actually own the original OLPC, and unfortunately, that thing is a pile of garbage. The entire UI and all apps are programmed in Python, which while good for getting children into programming I guess, is bad for actual use. The system is so unimaginably slow that doing really anything at all is unusable. Like every other adult who bought one, I installed Debian on it and a lightweight tiling window manager.
- cellularmitosis 6y agoI keep my OLPC (running Debian) around for precisely the reason of having a low-spec touchstone to keep me grounded. Heck I even test some programs on an NSLU2! https://gist.github.com/cellularmitosis/9ab25536b01d903539bd3d161cb7e3ed https://gist.github.com/cellularmitosis/9ab25536b01d903539bd...
