@AnachronistJohn I missed out on AM1 when that was available. Had good luck with Atom 330 and #NetBSD/amd64. I wonder whether Intel UHD on the J4125 might work better than the new thing (Intel Xe?). #Xorg

I haven't obsessed this much with my #X11 desktop since I was .. much younger. Trying to make it functional and purrty on 30 year old hardware is challenging but fun. Thanks to #NetBSD and the fact that most old X and #Xorg tools are still around and do all the things they always did - and haven't bloated much in those 30 years - helps a lot.

I'll take Wayland when it comes my way without me having to lift a finger, but until then I'm glad the X Window System is still around. Keeps this old hardware useful.
