Good luck! Just fyi, TinyCore requires a lot more manual tinkering to get it to work. It comes with very little. It's the one thing stopping kin from installing it. There are guides for setting it up though.

Have you ever tried TinyCore? It was considering using that over BionicPup just to squeeze out a little more performance.
Tried it last night. If Bionic was fast, TinyCore felt instantaneous.

Hell yes! The stylus works! Still... The ram usage will be less than ideal even with a ram upgrade. Time to test BionicPup32. Failing this... Will try MX Linux. If THAT fails, then it has TinyCore. antiX is always a reliable backup, but does it support Wacom stylus? 🤔

Predictably, at 2gb ram it doesn't handle video streaming well. Might do better at 32bit, but it plans to upgrade to 4gb anyway.
Kin will test the Wacom support then check BionicPup32

Out of curiosity it may still try Peppermint Os and Zorin Os Lite. But it feels pretty sold on FossaPup64. It needs to wrap this up and try the Fujitsu Lifebook next.

Ah, its first snag... The Toshiba is using an ancient BIOS that doesn't list the USB drive in the boot order. It will have to burn an ISO CD and install it via an external CD drive.
The Fujitsu tho, appears able to use the Ventoy stick. Cool.
