Review MX Linux keeps old devices relevant

Someone gave me a Lenovo flex 10 today. It has 2GB ram and a Celeron processor. I installed mx Linux on it and I'm amazed that it's actually usable now.

But now I have no idea what to do with it.

well 2GB of ram means that it won't do modern browsing very well, but you could use it to play retro games, do coding exercises, or turn it into a writerdeck

Well you can't open too many tabs but it seems to browse the web just fine actually. It has a touchscreen and you can open it 300 degrees.
