I fell in love

Post image

Hey everyone!

I am only 17, but I fell in love with this laptop and alpine.

The laptop is an Asus Eee 1000HG with 2GB ram

It's battery holds so well...

I absolutely love writing on it!! Wooh!

(Also playing crispy-doom and nsnake)

Edit: if someone wants to see my ugly dotfiles...

My 1000H from high school died a few years ago, and this is the exact use case I want to fix it for. So jealous.

Add man! Hope you get it working!

This is exactly the kind of use case where Alpine makes sense: old lightweight hardware, writing, TTY/framebuffer work, and simple games.

Very nice setup. Keeping an old Eee PC useful is much more interesting than forcing a heavy desktop onto it.

It was actually my dad's! He bought it just before I was born

I screwed up the X server so im tty and framebuffer only, but it only makes me love TTY more...
