fun lil project but some things are very inclear on the article. like how many ram is only noted in the included video?

also on comments on the page someone comment there might be some problematic aspects of running on old hardware. someone replies its actually fine for 'going online'.

would absolutely not recommend it. a lot of old systems let u flash firmware from the OS, and a lot of old hardware has sever bugs there. Trivial to reach and exploit. Windows 11 might be more modern (so its definitely better than using windows XP!) but if there is a problem it will be much more severe on old hw than new ones and also there will eb security features simply not worlking on old hw even with new OS.

So as a hobby project super fun but id actually recommend the opposite and say for anything but online its fine
