Thanks ๐Ÿ’– The X200 was a gift from a colleague back in the late 2010s, when it was already very old. But it runs Plan 9 beautifully :) I've been tinkering with it with the vague idea of switching to it from FreeBSD as a daily driver. I think maybe I could do without Emacs but I just need a "real" Web browser too much to make the switch.

@duncan_bayne does it run fast with the distro you use or is it slow?

Super fast, in fact it's as responsive as my Framework 13 running either Linux or FreeBSD. But it's running 9front, a fork of the Plan 9 operating system - so it's much lighter-weight than either of those OSs.

And modern browsers like Firefox are so slow as to barely usable on that hardware; I was running Haiku on it prior.
