  • The History of OS/2 (2001)
    This site only covers the IBM era of OS/2, but after Warp 4 it became "eComStation" and now ArcaOS since 2017: http://ecomstation.com/ https://www.arcanoae.com/ Arca Noae recently released their NVMe driver, and USB3 support is on the way! No free demo unfortunately due to ${REASONS} such as the bundled copy of Windows 3.1. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

DebianDog mentions (3)

  • PSA: Artix is a good option for old / underpowered hardware
    Did a similar round about a year ago, for a 4GB RAM Celeron though. Ended up with some of these https://debiandog.github.io/doglinux/ and is still running Sparky Bonsai from that pool. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Is there something better Debian based for an old Laptop than antiX?
    Dunno whether that's "better" than AntiX, but Puppy Linux has some Debian based Distros. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Simple hardcore distro.
    When I want a complete desktop that still keeps me in the .deb universe but without all of the insane defaults and resource usage of Ubuntu, I go with a DebianDog variant, which is also incredibly light for what it offers. Source: about 3 years ago
