my mom or dad bought this weirdly powerful-for-the-time laptop in 2005, dell xps m140

512 mb of ram and a pentium m, i mean thats not half bad right?

Give it a 2 Gb swap partition and it would be a nice machine for TUI stuff, maybe occasional Fedi scrolling with Bloat and surf. I have a ThinkPad T40 with half a gig of RAM and 1,5 GHz Pentium-M: I can run gomuks for Matrix chats, mutt for email, amfora and w3m, and tut for TUI Fedi experience — it's not THAT bad.

And of course you can run vim and write some code, but don't plug rust-analyzer or any other heavy language server into it — it might make vim completely unusable on a machine like that.
