Q4OS is pocket Hercules

Q4OS rocks, whether you're talking about a Core 2 Duo, Athlon 64, Celeron, i7, or Ryzen. Easy enough to configure with a mouse. Q4OS is a lightweight Linux distribution based on Debian, targeted as a replacement for operating systems no longer supported by outdated hardware. Trinity and Plasma desktops come preloaded on this pocket Hercules device. Its automated installation feature is wonderful.
