Antix is the last one standing on the support of old hardware, also gentoo Debian and tumbleweed is good ones since they support WIDE range of architectures
It's not that hardware isn't capable, it's just manufacturer isn't willing. Or rather willing to not.
How goes the saying? 32 MB of RAM and always swapping?
I've heard Emacs as eight mb and constantly swapping (I use Emacs BTW)

I make sure my own web game can run smoothly on crappy hardware. It runs well on my gaming laptop downclocked to 400MHz with a 4x slowdown set by Chrome. It also loads in a couple seconds with a typical crappy Internet connection of 200kbps and >10% packet loss. However, it doesn't run smoothly on my Snapdragon 425 phone or my old Core 2 Duo laptop. Is this my game or just browser overhead?
You have my vote.
that's why I've been doing most of my gamedev stuff on an old craptop from 2016.
performance issues become apparent immediately
Can you even run Windows with just 2gb?
Yes it can!
Tiny11 is a stripped down custom build of Windows 11, which only requires 8 GB of storage and 2 GB of RAM.
Someone even got it to run on 200MB of RAM.

I like how KDE has been getting faster and faster as time went on. Like Lisa Simpson's perpetuum mobile.
Hell yeah, I'd be getting paid for shouting at people
Yeah, screw CEF, Electron, and webdevs who can't live without those.
