Not only does Mabox work well on older machines but it does a great job on newer hardware as well! Mabox has become my main use distro on my laptops!

This is Mabox in my “potato” laptop.

What is the definition of “Potato” laptops anyway?

napcok · October 11, 2023, 2:16pm

Potato is slang for an old computer with difficulty running most games because of its lack of system resources (e.g., RAM (random-access memory) or disk space) or a slow CPU (central processing unit).
