There’s quite a few. I have bunsenlabs helium installed on a 32 bit pentium M laptop. It’s very usable, for a 20 yo single core machine. For basic things, it’s still fine. I do have some gpu acceleration though which is a benefit.

OpenBox but that’s a window manager, not a DE.

Trying to disable the lid close sensor on my laptop. My issue is twofold. It’s a convertible (pavilion x360) and I’m using bunsenlabs Linux.

Haven’t seen that meme source in a while.

this is correct

I wouldn’t say it’s a full on daily, but Bunsenlabs distros. It started out with Lithium because they had a non PAE build and I needed it for an old Pentium M laptop. I ended up really liking it. It’s debian at the end of the day so software support is plentiful. It’s super lightweight. It ran on the pentium m laptop (only 1 gb of ram) without much issue. It’s also baby’s first foray into window managers as it used openbox.

I ended up installing it on my other old laptop that has an 8th gen i7. I’ve been pretty happy with it as a result.

I.have 2 gripes but idk if it’s Bunsenlabs’s fault. I had an nvme ssd that refused to play ball with it, a Samsung PM991A nvme ssd. I couldnt work with it at all. Using gparted to format it was a no go as Gparted would just die. I know that line of ssds is problematic in the hackintosh community. Not surprised that it sucks here. Also trying to disable the lid close is impossible. Tried cli, can’t find my lid close sensor. It might be because it’s a x360 laptop so it’s a lot more complex lid detection wise.

What’s your snid? It might show up as a different model on a different website.

I know for HP machines, the bios updater exe can be decompressed and you can just get the bios image and the signature file from that.

Idk what machine you have, but at least for an older aspire laptop my friend has, there is a bios download.

If you follow instructions to make bios recovery media, you can update your bios through that.

Edit: that Acer laptop you have doesn’t even show up on Acer’s support page. Supposedly it’s sold as an Acer aspire a something or other. If you search based on your snid, you should be able to get to a downloads page.

Also clevo seems to make this laptop, according to the Acer India webpage I found for it

One game server, seedbox, some discord bots. And I ain’t telling how I interact with my servers but they are cloud.
