Eventually I upgraded RAM (2G) and disk (128G ssd) of this very old Acer Aspire One Netbook that I am trying to convert in my Gemini dedicated mini-workstation.
I put on it OpenBSD as OS and Window Maker ad Windows Manager; my main tool will be xterm, tmux, rclone, aerc mail...
GUI apps will be Sylpheed, Lagrange, Gpicview, mupdf...
To browse internet there aren't real solutions, this netbook simply can't run any modern webpage, besides using any Gemini Client + DucklingProxy an alternative might be Brosh + Firefox as backend.
I hope with this mini station to deliver faster and often more articles... 🙏

@bavarianbarbarian your idea didn't touch my brain at all, however this would imply keep my computer on all day long and having a reliable internet connection anywhere, which is not my case. I hope to have time to write at the lunch-break or when I wait for my kids activities etc... These are the only spare time available I have... 🤷♂️ · 2 years ago
Tought about using it as a graphical client for your bigger machines? So it can handle mondern webpages and due limited ressources, a smaller WM like OpenBox or Ratpoison? · 2 years ago
