Could you just put Linux on the old machine instead? I suspect that would be safer.

I mean yeah, safer and better but I wouldn’t be able to game on it though. It’s bot like the thing supports Vulkan.

Steam OS? Or emulators? It’s not like an old laptop is going to be running modern games

I doubt SteamOS will run on a laptop from 2003. Maybe Atari 2600 and NES emulation will work fine. I don’t expect this shitbox to run Cyberpunk 2077. I was hoping more for Postal and Quake.

Maybe SteamOS wouldn’t work, but maybe something like Debian or Linux Mint. Especially Debian is designed with a lot of backwards compatibility, even though it is very slow at adopting new updates for software (that are not security relevant).
