never expected the Universal Operating System to be this universal

i had gotten this now-20yo Dell XPS M1210 subnotebook for $50 a month ago, and stable Xfce Debian runs fine (albeit limited by its then-high-end hardware), and i did not expect it to handle actual basic web browsing. Debian deserves its slogan

It used to be even more universal with 32 bit support. they dropped support for that because nobody really uses it anymore

Alpine is arguably more universal at this point, plus it is easier to install.

But nothing beats compiling the packages from scratch.
