thanks for the correction, 2008. I still have the original box. The netbook
was given to me because WinXP was constipated with viruses, haha. It
originally ran like molasses in a Canadian winter.

The Inspiron 1011 seems to also have been called the Inspiron Mini
10v. It was probably introduced in 2008 (since that's when its CPU
was introduced), not

Are you sure that it is older? The Atom was introduced in 2008, the
year after I bought my notebook.
The first Asus Eee PC preceded the Atom and used Intel Celeron M

An external monitor doesn't (normally) bypass the video card so it

I have an even older notebook with a 32-bit Atom processor. It used to be
useful, but after upgrading to the latest (Debian Bullseye) Firefox
barely starts and is glacial enough to be totally unusable. Older
That's sad. You could try running an external monitor. I'd give up on Linux
and run Win. I have found few use cases where I've given up on linux.
Sometimes linux runs slower than win, but not often.
I still have a 2002 Dell netbook running WinXP specifically for Chinese
social media QQ. No email

I can run it with the kernel option "modprobe.blacklist=nouveau".
Then the screen resolution is 1024x768 instead of 1440x900. And that
15 year old notebook. Will no version of Linux work? That's sad. I have

I have an Acer Aspire 9300 that I bought in 2007.
I cannot get it to be useful. The problem is (mostly) with drivers for
the NVidia Go 6100 video.
- nVidia stopped supporting this in the proprietary Linux driver.
- nouveau is unreliable https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46557
