Thanks for making this video! It brought back memories of my first assembled-PC from 1999 - a Pentium Celeron 400-something MHz running Win95 with, oh gosh, perhaps 4MB(?) of RAM and a SiS 6xx graphics card. I was mostly playing "NFS Porsche Unleashed" on it. A few years later, when I was in university, I discovered Linux and I went down the rabbit-hole of running mutiple flavors of Linux - building and compiling packages (before package managers were reliable) as well as kernels to extract the most optimal performance on the Celeron. Started with Mandriva, then added Suse, Fedora, finally ending up on Gentoo. Something about taking 3 long days to get the system up was exciting!

Modern linux will likely drop support for this architecture pretty soon. There was discussion about this on the linux kernel mailing list and Linus Torvalds suggested dropping it. And yea... Samba is a cpu hog.... it's insane. Even on a modern cpu it can bring a system down to its knees if there are enough users. I'd highly recommend using NFS for stuff like this.

Did the first Linux install in 1998 on a 486 DX4-100 with SuSE 6.0, kernel 2.0.36. That felt a lot faster than what you're doing there. Most likely because I did use a VGA 16-color driver running 640x480. Setting up X was a huge pain in the ass back then though. This actually managed to run KDE 1.xx pretty good.

WiFi is actually fairly CPU intense with any adapter that is from that era.

The router one sat in the corner booting off a floppy for over a decade.

WIFI worked there because the actual radio waves are pretty small and there is enough of a tail there to act as a receiver. Your router or AP is likely pretty close to your PC ( in the house is close ) so it would work fine. The RPI Zero has the antenna built right on to the PCB and its probably shorter then the little nub sticking out of your aircard there.

Memories, my first Linux box was actually a P133 with 16MB of RAM, it was 1997 or 1998. This were much less user-friendly back then, especially configuring XFree86 (yes, that was before autoconfiguration) when you had a cheap graphics card from a generic manufacturer. As others have noted, NsCDE has nothing in common with actual CDE/Motif other than recreating the layout of CDE desktop environment on top of FVWM window manager and providing themes for modern toolkits (Qt, GTK+) to mimic the looks of Motif. It is to mimic the 1990s vibe of CDE desktop and Motif toolkit on modern systems. No surprise the experience is sluggish. Even lightweight distros assume something more potent than a single-core Pentium 133 MHz (there were no multicore x86 CPUs then, at best you could get a mainboard with slots for more than 1 CPU; non-NT Windowses were not able to use it anyway). Pentium didn't even had SIMD instructions.

Linux is ideal for old computers! Unfortunately, many distros are ending support for 32-bit processors. I'm running Slackware -current on a 2006 OG white polycarbonate MacBook with a 32-bit-only intel CoreDuo "Yonah" CPU. Slackware will still give you a complete, fully up-to-date Linux on something as old as a 386! If you need to run on a 64-bit processor you'll need Slackware64. From the mid-2000s to the mid-2010s I rocked an ASUS EeePC 2G Surf running Slackware -current as my main machine (until the keyboard finally flaked out). Linux in my jacket pocket! The EeePC had a Celeron of some sort, with 256M of RAM and 2G of storage. I added a 16GB SD card for my install and I was all fine (KDE wouldn't load and going to Facebook would instantly crash the system so I just didn't do that). I'm running Alpine Linux on my iPhone! Stay furry!
