Linux can really unlock old hardware well, and glad it work great on 32bit systems

Recently retired my pc with fx6300 because it take too much desktop space; and just setup a mini pc with j6412, also installed arch Linux, i3wm for desktop stuffs

Also find a old usb Bluetooth receiver make it play some music

It works great and use this new setup to get a Agent free experience



What's the last part referring to? Isn't all Linux agent free by definition? Or do you mean, compared to windows?

I am running agents on my ten year old ThinkPad T460. I gave them their own user account, to limit blast radius, but I haven't had any issues with them nuking things yet. (Except for my code quality...)

Well, maybe my API keys with $5 credit have been exfiltrated though. The world may never know :)
