alt Hacker NewsIt is comparable to slackware as I says on the website and for many yas i have wanted to use slackware. So i want to install it on my pentium laptop that I got in 2020. I want to run zoom on it with screen sharing. Can I do that? I can use antix linux on that laptop frthe same purpose.

You can try running it via LX zone (Linux compatibility) but I would consider it a very far stretch. You might be able to make it work via browser but I don't know the situation there.

Should work fine if you can run Zoom through Firefox.

You can try via a usb bootable and see if the hardware is recognised

No
Debian no longer supports Pentium, so neither does Antix.
There are still Linux distros that will work on it. Adelie should. I think Arch32 as well. And Tinycore.
I am not as sure about Slackware but I believe the single-core (non-SMP) kernel runs on Pentium.
