I missed that particular comment, but I did see "Raspberry Pi Desktop"
early on in the thread, so I think it's very likely that project/distro
(which is/was Debian based).

I don't know if the OP ever described the hardware. My apologies if I
missed that, too.

Yes, I have a couple of old "Netbooks" with Atom processors that I used to
keep updated with Lubuntu. It was always a refreshing start, seeing Lubuntu
"run rings around" their stock Windows 7, but then once one tried to use an
up-to-date browser, or LibreOffice, or Zoom or whatever one expects to do
nowadays, the limits of the deliberately crippled Intel processor and the
3GB Ram rear their ugly heads.
