    1GB RAM is tough for a GUI and Firefox, maybe AntiX will work

    Really need a minimum of 2GB then you can run ChromeOS Flex, or Linux Mint XFCE

    How’s Linux Lite these days? That was always my go-to for old machines.

    Is Peertube playback more efficient than YouTube on older hardware?

      Not sure about video playback, but I feel like the PeerTube website is much more efficient. The YouTube website is amazingly badly coded…

      Probably not

      The issue is that the GPU is to old to support modern codices

    You can probably do Youtube via mpv + yt-dlp. You’ll probably have to make sure you are only grabbing the codecs you have hardware decoding capabilities for, though. It’s not as convenient, of course, but it’s a lot less taxing on your hardware.
