I’ve been using it on my Fedora laptop for the past week or so and it’s really nice, even in alpha 1! Can’t wait to see how it turns out fully finished!
I was so happy about this! Been using it on my work MacBook and have been excited to use it on my main laptop!
Windows 10 before I used Linux full-time, though I did try out Windows 11.
From my understanding the OP said it was normal water too.
Imagine being so against people using certain programs on their computer that you straight up deny them software updates.
Generally I have when I use Gnome or KDE on Linux, though I have started to prefer MATE, which doesn’t have Wayland support yet afaik. I also started using FreeBSD on one of my computers a bit more, and I believe Wayland support is still a bit wonky on that right now. But as soon as Wayland support is there I’m definitely switching to that on the daily.
I personally like Podverse.
You might be able to find a super lightweight desktop distro out there (I think Damn Small Linux can run on those specs?) or you could repurpose it as a basic server of some sort like you mentioned. Unless you wanted to invest in some cheap old ram to throw in there and maybe make it a bit faster, then I think those would be your best options.
