About the same, I have an old netbook HP Mini 311 with an Atom 270 or something, it came with 1GB of RAM and winXP, I installed another 2GB to have 3GB, worked fine, then installed MX Linux with Xfce, even the nvidia GPU was working fine in it.

For fun I tried to install win10Pro, it worked!!! was basically unusable, but it booted to the desktop.

I started using un*x on mainframe (aix, irix, hpux, etc). On a regular PC you could have SVR4, BSD, Minix, things like this, then linux came, in the 90s we had no CD, we downloaded the floppies images from ftp on the university server, then rushed to home to install linux on a 486, we did a lot of compile ourselves, no choice back in time. I used some distro after, like Mandrake (I'm French) but always liked the DIY thing, but it was more and more complicated and long... this is why I started using Debian in the days...

I started with like, nothing, linux 0.99 on 8 floppies and X11 on like 12 floppies... then some kind of LFS, then Debian, then Ubuntu, then Mint, then MX with Xfce (since almost 10 years)

Yup, same, years ago I used all the google apps, chrome, gmail, pay, keep, contact, clock, etc then bought a Samsung phone so every apps were kind of duplicated with samsung pay, samsung internet, samsung agenda, samsung gallery, samsung clock etc. And if you use google clock for your morning alarms, samsung app killer will kill it during the night and BAM! no alarm the morning. I ditched it and bought a Pixel.
