DSL 2024 = impressive - Gyro - 06-16-2025
After trying out many other Linux distros I successfully installed DSL 2024 on my old clunker of a laptop (HP Pavilion with 1 GB RAM and AMD Athlon X2). WLAN and even audio is working out of the box. Some other distros didn't even start. Thanks!
Linuxes that didn't run at all: Slitaz 5.0, MX and Manjaro.
Linuxes that that launched but were problematic in some way or other: Debian (no WLAN), Slitaz 3 and 4 and Bunsenlabs.
PS: I just checked, the laptop came out in 2006 and originally it had Windows Vista on it. And it was a slow poke even back then if you ask me.

Have you installed or referring to running live? If you can't get a connection, consider phone tethering USB if possible. If that's not possible or doesn't work, start a thread and we can help (post the output of inxi -Fv7 in it, too, please).
