Twig

Could probably pop OS/2 or MorphOS in the top left

The maze screensaver was kinda cool.

That and all the themes for 98 Plus

There’s Worker as well

RISCOS of course

or AROS on x86

Before the dawn of history

Sounds a bit dystopian

Yeah, I wish the Pine phone battery life was a bit better. Who knows, maybe it’s improved since I last tried it

Mouse War?

Huzzah!

No better time to learn!

" The minimal configuration for a NetBSD/i386 system requires at least 32M of RAM and 512M of disk space. Smaller configurations are possible, but require e.g. custom kernel configurations.

Any i486 or better CPU should work - genuine Intel or a compatible such as Cyrix, AMD, or NexGen."

Can always go for NetBSD?

Bunsenlabs is worth a shot

Maybe https://www.bunsenlabs.org/

Second this. Easy to use and regular updates

Maybe some Machine Head?

I get that. It depends what you’re after. I just wanted something that’d run on old hardware without too much effort.

antiX doesn’t use SystemD, so that works for me. A nice balance between lightweight and being lazy and not having to set it up from scratch, but it doesn’t feel quite as janky as Puppy Linux.

I’ve yet to try Devuan, but I quite like the fact antiX has a bunch of stuff setup, like the WM with Rox and a bunch of apps etc

antiX is a pretty user friendly and light distro. Plus it’s Debian based.
