I love linux, I have a surface RT from 2012 that I've acquired, its stuck on windows 8.1 RT which cant install any 3rd party aps and can only use Internet explorer.
With linux i can install postmarket OS and make it completely usable again, and able to possibly self host lightweight services off it too.

Any recommendations/cautions about using Alpine Linux on the desktop? It's always intrigued me and you're the only person I've seen post about it
Alpine is pretty good for desktop, very stable, good security practice, professional development philosophy, broad package availability. You will run into some very obvious pitfalls, although they can mostly be obviated by using some modern applications.
The Alpine wiki is a little sparse and at times can be weirdly focussed, like spending a lot of the installation page talking about the very specific usecase of a diskless install. Nonetheless, it's quite good and should be your first port of call. A lot of the things I'm mentioning here are well covered in the article on Daily Driving for Desktop use. I'm basically just editorializing here.
The installation procedure is command-line only, but pretty straightforward, you run setup-alpine and follow the prompts, assuming you want a basic system. If you need special disk partitioning, you'll usually have to do it yourself. There's a whole whackload of helpers to get you set up, like setup-desktop which will help you install any of 'gnome', 'plasma', 'xfce', 'mate', 'sway', or 'lxqt'. Most of these are called by setup-alpine for you, but not the desktop one. You can call it at any time though.
Most obviously, musl libc, no glibc. Packaged software will work fine. There's a compatibility shim called gcompat that will usually work, but might fall apart on more complicated software expecting glibc, for example I've had no luck running glibc AppImages. For more complex software, Flatpaks are a good option, e.g. Steam runs great on Alpine as a Flatpak, I run the Homestuck Companion Flatpak. Your last ditch is containerization and chroots, which are fortunately really easy to handle, just install podman and Distrobox and you can run anything that won't run on Alpine inside a Fedora or Debian or Whatever container seamlessly with your desktop.
Less obviously: no systemd. Systemd underpins some really common features of modern Linux and not having it around means you have to use a few different tools that are anywhere from comparable to a little worse for some tasks. Packaged applications will work smoothly, just learn the OpenRC invocations, Alpine has a really great wiki. For writing your own services, it's a lot more limited than SystemD, you're not going to have full access to like, udev functionality, instead you get the good but kind of weird eudev system.
If you're mainly installing things from the repos you'll barely notice the difference, other than that every package is split up into three, <package>, <package>-docs, and <package>-dev. This is a container-y thing, to allow Alpine container images to install the smallest possible packageset. If you need man pages you'll have to install them specifically.
Alpine has a very solid main repo, and a community repo that's plenty good, and worth enabling on any desktop system. It'll generally be automatically enabled when you set up a desktop anyway, but just a notice if you're going manual. You can run Stable alpine, which updates every six months, or if you want you can run Edge, which is a rolling release of packages as they get added. Lots of very up-to-date software, and pretty stable as these go. You can go from Stable->Edge pretty easily, going back not so much.
There's also the Testing repo, only available on Edge, which I don't really recommend, especially since apkbuild files are so easy to run if you just need one thing that has most of its dependencies met.
Package management is with APK, which is fast and easy to work with. The wiki page will cover you.
Side note: if you want something more batteries-included, you could look at Postmarket, an Alpine derivative mainly focussed on running on smartphones but that is a pretty capable desktop OS, and which has a fairly friendly setup process. I run this on an ARM Chromebook and it's solid. Installation requires some reading between the lines because it's intended for the weird world of phones, so you'll probably want to follow the PMBootstrap route.
postmarketOS: Aiming for a 10 year life-cycle for smartphones
Minimalistic Linux distributions run fine on ten year old PCs. It is 2017. Pick an average PC from 2007 and install a minimal Linux based operating system. You will be able to do basic computing tasks (eg. surfing the web, reading E-Mails, listening to music, chatting) just like on an expensive modern PC. You will even get security updates, so your old computer is protected, just like as a new one. Why are Android/Linux phones different? Androids architecture is based on forking (one might as well say copy-pasting) the entire code-base for each and every device and Android version. And then working on that independent, basically instantly incompatible version. Especially adding device-specific drivers plays an important role. This workflow makes it next to impossible to patch all Android devices with security updates in time or at all (Stagefright vulnerabilities for example rendered one billion devices vulnerable). And even if the vendor provides updates, it will only be for a limited time and then you must buy a new device to get security updates or the latest Android version. How convenient! Alright, so there is the LineageOS community, which provides weekly updates for an impressive number of smartphones. They provide a practical solution today, and I am very grateful for that. However, such Android based projects will always run behind Google and the phone industry, fixing only symptoms but never the root-cause. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Android has way more problems, read Cascardo's GNU on Smartphones (part II) for more nightmares. We can fix this as a community. (via postmarketOS: Aiming for a 10 year life-cycle for smartphones ♻)

I've been wanting to daily drive a linux phone, but the logistics are a bit daunting. Just going through my Android apps and realizing how hard I'm depending on this damn phone for all these services requiring 2FA gives me a headache.
There's a phone with Ubuntu Touch on my desk that I've been meaning to re-flash to a different distro. UT did not feel like a good alternative because the software selection is so limited. Hopefully PostmarketOS is better in that regard.
It should be feasible though and probably an upgrade in terms of peace of mind. As long as it works
Ultra hafif, hepsi bir arada Linux : postmarketOS,
Güncellenmiş Linux dağıtımı postmarketOS, x86 mimarisi üzerinde Intel ve AMD işlemcilere sahip bilgisayarlarda çalışacak şekilde güncellendi. Geliştiriciler, hem çok eski hem de yeni modeller de dahil olmak üzere bu tür bilgisayarların "hemen hemen tümü" için destek talep veriyor. İşletim sistemini aynı zamanda akıllı telefonlara, tabletlere ve Chromebook'lara da kurmak mümkün daha evrensel hale geliyor. Hepsine hükmedecek tek bir Linux PostmarketOS işletim sisteminin geliştiricileri, birçok yenilik ve iyileştirme içeren 24.06 sürümünün yayınlandığını duyurdu. Yeniliklerden biri, sistemin artık Dünta'nın en büyük tanınmış üreticileri de dahil olmak üzere 200'den fazla mobil cihaza kurulabilmesi ve artık x86 mimarisine dayalı işlemcilere sahip cihazlarda da çalışabilmesidir. Bu , bir zamanlar Android'e ve az bilinen platformlara rakip olan basit mobil işletim sisteminin artık Intel ve AMD işlemcili dizüstü ve masaüstü bilgisayarlarda çalışabileceği anlamına geliyor . Liliputing portalının yazdığı gibi, " x86_64 işlemcili hemen hemen her bilgisayarda" çalışabilir . PostmarketOS'un AMD veya Intel logosu olmayan CPU'lu bilgisayarlarda çalışıp çalışmayacağı henüz bilinmiyor . Özellikle x86 işlemciler Çinli Zhaoxin şirketi tarafından üretiliyor . PostmarketOS, Alpine Linux'u temel alıyor . PostmarketOS 24.6 paket tabanı Alpine Linux 3.20 ile senkronize edilmiş. PostmarketOS projesi Mayıs 2024'te yedi yaşına girdi. Ancak işletim sistemi hâlâ geliştirilme aşamasında ve çoğu kişinin alışkın olduğu iOS ve Android'den daha dengesiz olabilir . PostmarketOS ile tamamen uyumlu bir cihaz olsa bile, geliştiriciler cihaz yazılımının mükemmel şekilde çalışacağını garanti edemiyor . PostmarketOS ekibi , işletim sisteminin şu anda sıradan kullanıcılardan ziyade Linux meraklıları için uygun olduğunu açıklıyor. Başlangıçtan dev platforma PostmarketOS, eski telefonlara yeni bir soluk getirme projesi olarak başlayan Linux tabanlı bir işletim sistemidir. Geliştiricilerin ana fikri, üreticilerinin kendileri için güncelleme yayınlamayı uzun süredir durdurduğu eski cihazlara uzun vadeli destek sağlamaktır. Bu, hem akıllı telefonlar hem de tabletlerin yanı sıra birkaç tek kartlı bilgisayar ve hatta Chromebook'lar ( Google Chrome OS çalıştıran dizüstü bilgisayarlar ) için de geçerlidir . Artık bu işletim sistemini, örneğin fabrikadan Windows üzerinde çalışan ancak artık bu işletim sisteminin yeni sürümlerinin gereksinimlerini karşılamayan eski bir dizüstü bilgisayara yüklemek mümkün . PostmarketOS'u bir x86 bilgisayara yüklemek için geliştiricilerin web sitesinden ayrı bir yeni Generic x86_64 derlemesini indirmeniz gerekecektir . Ayrıca , önceki on yılın başlarında piyasaya sürülen Google Nexus 7 ve Microsoft Surface RT tabletleri de dahil olmak üzere, Nvidia Tegra 2, Tegra 3 veya Tegra 4 işlemcili cihazlara yüklenebilecek bir Nvidia Tegra Armv7 görüntüsü de mevcut . Kurulum ve kullanım Geliştiriciler, sistemin 50 cihazda kararlı çalışmasını ve diğer 211 cihazda nispeten kararlı çalışmasını garanti ediyor. Liliputing, sistem performans düzeyinin her cihazda farklı olduğunu - bazılarında "zar zor başlıyor" (zor önyükleme) yazıyor . Desteklenen Chromebook'ların listesi, aralarında Acer , Asus ve Lenovo'nun da bulunduğu hem az bilinen satıcıların hem de büyük üreticilerin 30'dan fazla modelini içeriyor . PostmarketOS'un özelliklerinden biri, çeşitli grafik ortamları için eşzamanlı destektir. 23.06 sürümünde bunlardan dört tane var ve her biri en son değişiklikle ilgili bir güncelleme aldı. Kullanıcı GNOME Shell 46, KDE Plasma Mobile 6.0.5, Phosh 0.39 ve Sxmo 1.16.3 arasından seçim yapabilir. Kullanıcı, cihaza bağlı olarak postmarketOS'ta farklı yeniliklere erişebilecek. Örneğin, grafik alt sistemi Samsung Chromebook'larda iyileştirildi ve Qualcomm Snapdragon 450/625/626/632 işlemcili tüm cihazlar artık GPS'i ve hücresel ağlar üzerinden veri aktarımını destekliyor . Kural olarak, postmarketOS geliştiricileri her altı ayda bir yeni sürümler yayınlıyor. Bir sonraki sürüm olan 24.12'nin Aralık 2024'te çıkması bekleniyor ve diğer şeylerin yanı sıra, OpenRC başlatma sisteminin yerini alacak systemd sistem yöneticisinin kullanımına yönelik temel desteği içerecek . Desteklenen bazı cihazlar - ASUS MeMO Pad 7 - DragonBoard 410c Ok - BQ Aquaris X5 - Fairphone 4 - Genel x86_64 yeni - X64 CPU'lu Google Chromebook'lar - Google Gru Chromebook'lar - Google Kukui Chromebook'lar - Google Nexus 10 yeni - Google Oak Chromebook'lar - Google Trogdor Chromebook'lar - Google Veyron Chromebook'lar - Lenovo A6000 - Lenovo A6010 - Lenovo ThinkPad X13s yeni - Microsoft Surface RT yeni - Motorola Moto G4 Oyunu - Nokia N900 - Nvidia Tegra armv7 yeni - ODROID XU4 - OnePlus 6 - OnePlus 6T - PINE64 PinePhone - PINE64 PinePhone Pro - PINE64 Pinebook Pro - PINE64 RockPro64 - Purism Librem 5 - SHIFT6mq - Samsung Chromebook - Samsung Chromebook 2 11.6" - Samsung Galaxy A3 (2015) - Samsung Galaxy A5 (2015) - Samsung Galaxy E7 - Samsung Galaxy Grand Max - Samsung Galaxy S III (GT-I9300 ve SHW-M440S) - Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Değer Sürümü - Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" - Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0" - Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 - Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 - Wileyfox Swift - Xiaomi Mi A1 - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite - Xiaomi Mi Note 2 - Xiaomi Pocophone F1 - Xiaomi Redmi 2 - Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime - Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus - Xiaomi Redmi Not 4 - Xiaomi Redmi S2 / Y2 Read the full article
