How many people really care for running _Tumbleweed_ on ancient (<= i586) hardware?
I volunteer one day a week at a non-profit organization in Kansas City, whose mission is to refurbish donated computers and sell then at low price to low-income people. Any machines that are received with a dual-core CPU are outfitted with Windows 10, but systems weaker than our cutoff have Leap 42.3 put on them and are given free to the poorest people. We recently received 4 Dell D820 laptops in extremely good condition. The original plan was to put 32-bit Windows on them; however, they only came with 2 GB RAM, and the machines are very picky about which RAM will work. After quite a bit of effort, our manager gave up. As the Linux expert in the shop, I was charged with finding a 32-bit version of Linux for them. I really hate to even consider a rolling release for machines going to users with little sophistication, but I see few options. As the recipients will likely have only Windows experience. I need something on the desktop that looks like a "Start" button. Using a VirtualBox VM for testing, the only workable candidate is TW with an LXDE desktop. There are really people that need 32-bit systems. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
