I had a net top thing from asus that had worse specs than that running fine a few years ago on AntiX. It was just used as a thin client mostly but did the job.

There's an outage on aws and various other services which started at the same time. Have a look on downdetector

Unless it was one of those netbook desktop things, holy hell those were bad. I managed to get AntiX running pretty well on one, and tuxracer lagged a LOT. Was pretty useful as a cheap thin client though.

I tried it about 2 years ago and it was a fucking omnishambles on Linux. I presume it has improved since then..

I guess the point is that its complexity is overrated, but still definitely not 'simple'.

It's literally a marketing term for a bunch of structured algorithms at this stage - not some sentient witchcraft

I got some weird reverse vertigo looking up from the inside when I was there, it was insanely high. Incredible place though.

Davinci resolve? Its Linux support is a bit obtuse, but it works.

iPad / tablet, and applying for jobs can easily be done on a phone. My wife works at a high school - half the kids can't even use a mouse properly,and don't understand minimizing a window etc.

She had to teach someone what the enter button did yesterday..... They were using space bar to get to a new line. I shit you not.

The main issue to solve is kids not having access to a computer at home, whether it be lack of incentive or money. Most people don't even own a laptop anymore, so the only computer time they get is in a school setting.

Once the majority of schools have a system in place for most homework to be done on a PC, then there may be some creative ways to incentivise more PC adoption... again. It's like we've gone back to the early 90s again where only kids who were really interested in computing knew anything about it.
