    Because the hardware is obviously underspecced for any browser. I doubt they could even run a modern OS with a light DE. You’d need to already know what you’re doing if you willingly commit to specs this low.

      They could, actually—it’s been about a year since I retired a machine with specs as bad or worse that ran Gentoo with TDE, and it was useful enough for many things. Web browsing was not one of those things, however.

      Hmm. So the assumption is then this is a troll post? Maybe the person doesn’t know and is new to this, got a free old laptop in example. You might be right that the system is underspecced for most normal usage and deeper knowledge to work with it might be required. But I don’t get why the person is downvoted for asking the question. Unless its a troll off course, if that is the assumption.

        When you add the fact that the main question contains emojis it destroys any bit of seriousness in the question. Emojis have their places but not when you want to be taken seriously. This post could not be a clearer example of a shitpost/troll post.
