I’ve still got mine. I ran Debian with Xfce if I remember correctly.
makes me want to restore my sibling’s eee pc now.
it is not fair to write this kind of history and not to mention one laptop per child.
LXQt time
I remember running lxde and xfce on my eee at various points. If lxqt still supports 32 bit machines, I bet it would still work okay.

Yeah, I have 701 (?) 2g surf somewhere. It was kinda fun to do programming in vim in tty, and waaay less fun to compile stuff…
Ha ha, a post about the Eee! Dug my 1000H out of the attic a few weeks back, put Mint xfce on it and it works great, pretty zippy! Then I put it back in the attic.
The EEE PC
I was wondering where the dankpods would be
I wish I could give you more upvotes because you deserve all the upvotes
I wonder how alpine linux would hold up on one of these, as a desktop of course. Alpine is ment for routers so therotically it should work really well.
Had a 100X, back then with 2GB RAM. Worked OOTB with Linux w/o trouble, all hardware supported. Good times. Later, starting your browser maxed out the RAM so not a viable option anymore.
Nowadays I can happily recommend a HP Stream 11". Works perfectly with Fedora 39, good battery life. (Obviously you don’t want to use such a machine for more than casual work/internet surfing. But as a cheap/solid travel netbook, it is perfect. Typing this message on it.)
