Wow. So despite the fact that my Windows app didn't quite work, so many things *did* work:

* Touchpad, keyboard, SSD, video, USB, all functioning well
* Installer was lightning-fast
* Ethernet worked out of the box
* Built-in web browser (WebPositive) is actually *really* good for being a non-standard browser
* 1 GB of RAM is *just* enough to render a single GitHub tab in WebPositive
* Also was able to browse YouTube although I couldn't watch anything in the browser
* yt-dlp's platform-independent executable worked just fine (I had installed youtube-dl from the repos which didn't work, but it pulled in the right deps for yt-dlp it seems)
* MediaPlayer was able to play the video I downloaded *really smoothly*
* Speakers worked
* IRC works

I'm impressed. Very impressed. I had no clue a "hobby OS" like this could be this far along.

I did hit some hiccups:

* Boxedwine got stuck forever trying to launch any Windows app, and was then impossible to close
* Trying to shutdown or reboot the system always hangs the entire OS (thankfully it seems to be just a nuisance, I can force-shutdown at that point and it seems I suffer no severe consequences for doing so)
* Drive partitioner's UI could be better, I ended up botching my install twice in a row because of that
* MediaPlayer is *very* sensitive to clicks, I accidentally restarted my video several times because of that since tap-to-click was working on my touchpad :P
* Lots of keyboard shortcuts I'm used to from other OSes and DEs don't work (Alt+Tab, Alt+F4, Ctrl-Alt-T, and I even had some trouble with Ctrl-A and Ctrl-C though those may have been keyboard-induced user error because this old laptop has the Control key in a funky spot)

All in all though, very good OS. And I may try to determine the source of the lockup-on-shutdown issue and fix it if I can.
