Try Puppy..?

(*shrug*)

You DID ask for something "lightweight"....


Mike.

I was still on dialup in 2009. Lots of rural housing where dialup or $$$atelite are the ONLY options. Live on the wrong side of the valley and dialup may be the only option. Outside of owning the entire valley and becoming your own WISP. Lived in my current location more than a decade with a major interstate viewable from the front porch. And we only recently got a pizza place that delivers. And with the pandemic, they no longer deliver.

My current WISP is only 10x to 30x faster than dialup. But put a verizon cell booster on that network cause cell service sucks, and other things. And even a relatively small distro install image can take hours to download. Youtube at 360p might even be a bit hopeful / optimistic depending on the time of day and day of week. When that is the ONLY thing in general computing land consuming bandwidth. Put a windows machine on that network and you dream of the lucious dialup days where ping times weren't measured in multiples of seconds. And setting your MTU to 576 didn't break the internet.

Name one (no caps) distro that offers the bloat that iLinux offers?

8bit

My system is not much more robust than listed. I am running Ubuntu 20.x currently and will be putting PoP on it later (in a few months when I am back home) as I prefer PoP's UI better than Ubuntu. They are basically the same underneath.

Another day, another distro. What a waste. And why?

Why? Ego, and the hope of money. It's a forlorn hope, but as we know, hope springs eternal.

I tried Zorin OS retro version on a potato PC from 2003 that cost 10$ on eBay and it worked perfectly. Maybe that will work for you? If you feel more experimental then try out Gentoo.

There's nothing super at the market unless you can grow it... like cancer?

I studied in Amsterdam. We have grow shops there. Some think that they're super. And they have little to do with cancer although if you smoke your chances of getting cancer go up.

I guess it is a severe case of truth dilution. You can watch a very instructive video about that on John Cardogan's Youtube channel (it is about car salesmen but is easily applicable to other parts of society). A lot of distro's are hovering somewhere in ZED-space, I presume.

There's a more scientific (but still funny) apporach to dealing with bullshit here: https://callingbullshit.org
The whole series is on easily digestible YT videos!

Meanwhile, the user in question happily keeps on spamming us (I do hope the mods ban user linux_party) and has even opened another BS-website (same IP address, I checked).
I wonder if it pays even 1 little bit? Or how that compares to the time spent with spamming alone?

Perhaps desperation is beginning because the anticipated flood of downloads has not materialized, and the ad revenue is nil. I have not, and will not, visit the website, but I would guess that there are multitudes of ads on it. That's the only way I know of to make money through a vanity Linux distro. But I don't think it's going to happen.

The user in question was banned about 12 hours earlier, and all of their newbie forum posts were removed.

Ah, that explains why only some of the posts were removed. Didn't notice that before.

Are you able to answer my other questions here?

I'm using Lubuntu 20.10 on a old Macbook 2006.
LXQT desktop, while not pretty, works just fine in this machine.
It has an Intel Core2 Duo T7200 @ 2Ghz, 4GB RAM, but only 3.2 are usable.
The video is really low end, it has an Intel GMA 950 graphics chip with 64 MB of DDR2 SDRAM.
