Forgot to share. The stylus worked perfectly on both FossaPup64 and BionicPup32. The latter had none of 64's issues, but the drawback is the lack of popular apps. May not be a huge issue. This laptop won't be a daily driver. Still cool tho. #retropc #retrocomputing #oldcomputers

FossaPup64 performing great on the Fujitsu Lifebook as well! Though it may need to consider BionicPup32 still. It just wanted something with good performance and Wacom support. #retrocomputing #retropc #oldcomputers #linux

Wow. Kin is impressed! FossaPup64 has already beaten Bodhi just on system level performance on the Toshiba. It comes with some useful apps, not a ton of extras. It's tempted to just stop here. Next test was BionicPup32. But why go 32 if a 64 bit works so well? #Linux #computing

Joy! The Toshiba lives! Turns out it could boot from usb after all. Now the real challenge... Finding a Linux os that plays nice with it. It has many installed on the ventoy drive.
Linux Lite was too much, so it's trying Bodhi Linux next.

It has a Toshiba Satellite T135-S1309 and a Fujitsu Lifebook T4220 that it wants to breathe back to life. Got for free, with no OS. Currently exploring some lightweight Linux distros to install on these. Will use a Ventoy USB stick to test. Kin is excited!! #retrocomputing #retropc #oldcomputers
