   I still have one very low-spec mini-laptop that would probably fit the "netbook" label.
   
   It's pretty much useless for normal purposes. When I bought it, the first thing I had to do was delete enough bloatware so that I could run Windows Update. Ever since then, after each update, there's a process of cleaning out unneeded Win10 update files, unneeded Microsoft Defender files, etc; followed by another reboot.
   
   Only then is it minimally usable. About the only use I foresee is using it to ssh into "turtle" and "tortoise" (the two ancient servers in my room), but they are temporarily out of commission while I wait to flatten them and install a new OS.

     @lnxw37j1 maybe you could run ameliorated.info scripts to remove more bloat and make it more usable?
