I have an old AthlonXP system that I decomissioned three years ago.
For openSUSE purposes, it must stay that way. That CPU doesn't support at least one required instruction provided by newer CPUs and required by some base & optional packages. Debian 11 will run on it. I don't know the status of Debian Testing (12 to be). AntiX is often recommended for Athlons.
I misremembered what it was called, it's actually an Athlon64 (I think a Venice @2.2GHz, rated 3400+). Anyway, it should still be running in Tumbleweed x86_64 I think, but I'm not sure.
According to https://get.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/, which IMO is bogus, 2G RAM and 2 core CPU are required. I have it running on several Pentium IVs, and with as little as 1G RAM.
The system has the max. possible 3G RAM installed, it worked OK with just 2GiB, but then the browser would often trigger swapping.
