- 5e92cb50239222b 4y agoHow old is old? I use Debian on an 11-year old cheap laptop, and it runs fine. No GNOME, of course (it's the performance equivalent of Windows on pretty much any hardware). The laptop was something like $300 back in 2012.
- slim 4y agowithout GNOME and disk encryption, of course you can run Debian on a toaster
- julesnp 4y agoEncrypted disks would be the key issue here, older CPUs likely can't handle the encryption work required.
