October 24, 20241 yr I have this box for years now, I want to run linux on it, can it actually happen, this device is very old though. It has 2gb ram, with 26gb storage
November 3, 20241 yr You could make it a low power desktop device for doing lightweight tasks like writing documents, checking email, or browsing lightweight internet sites (shopping, news or books); could make it a server to share files from on a USB hard drive to other devices/computers on a network - this can include a basic media server like Jellyfin or Emby; could make a ad blocking server like with Pi-Hole. Or maybe something else...
November 22, 20241 yr I agree, I would make it a file server/NAS, print server, maybe mpd server. I have similar box and planning to use it instead of my Orange Pi PC.
