antiX runs just fine on an old Pentium III machine that I own. Nothing is too obsolete for Linux.
I have antiX running on a PII 333 with 288Mb of ram. I love this distro. added bonus: its proudly anti-fascist!
Mainstream distro seem to cater more to corporate use cases these days. But thankfully as you hinted one can always a distro supporting unpopular hardwares.
That’s a good thing? If possible I want Ubuntu to drop 32-bit libraries in the near future (and translate calls for any libraries/apps like WoW64), but if I need to run Linux on a 32-bit computer I want Slackware where that remains supported
The upcoming 6.0 release of Linux will drop support for NEC’s VR41xx MIPS CPU family, leaving WorkPad z50 users with NetBSD as their only maintained OS.
