mmmh… I’m from a poor south american country and my hard disk broke like three years ago and I’ve been running Debian in a SD card since then. I remember trying Manjaro but it didn’t let me install the system on the SD. Thanks to Linux I’m currently able to work from home. I would had to ask my boss a computer if not and it would be a Windows machine

    What happened to all the initiatives bringing computers to poor countries?

      They still happen here and there, but actually in this case (Chinese) capitalism proofed to be the better driver of change and such devices have become affordable even in poor countries. But the newish RasberryPI 400 would be probably better for work; just needs a screen.
