I'm using PS/2 because USBHID requires a driver in the kernel and I don't have the RAM for that shit.
I'm using a PS/2 keyboard and trackpad right now.
Adesso ACK-540-pw if anyone is interested.
Yes, this is actually why my first angle of attack was finding text only browsers!
Links for HTTP(s), Offpunk for Gopher and Gemini (I think it does finger too but I don't know any sites that use the finger protocol)
My first laptop had 256 MB and ran fine on XP. Idk what happened to operating systems but this shit is getting out of hand.
I don't ever mean to be a downer but I feel this will hurt users in the long run. Just simy extending an umbilicle to Microsoft's teat because they can't be assed to let go and stop suckling. M$O and Adobe CC are some of the worst offenders for SaaS bullshittery.
I have my reasona for using FreeBSD, the system I'm using is ancient, about 20 years old. Its a decommissioned corpo unit, HP/Compaq DC5700S with 2 gigs of RAM and a dog slow Celeron D processor. I'm actually compiling a custom kernel right now to match my hardware because I'm severely limited on RAM and in true UNIX fashion it needs to only be doing what I tell it to, and not a damn thing more.
Always keep a GUI tool for the job in case of normies.
I just don't go outside so I can use the terminal all I want
Based on your last paragraph, you might fall in the supernoob catergory. You'll want an immutable distribution, you can't break those Unless you tell it to let you break it.
As a windows user, you'll find familiarity in Fedora Kionite.
If you prefer a touchscreen oriented experience consider Fedora Silverblue.
There's a few other options on the page I'm linking, I haven't tried and therefore can't recommend either of the others.

Edit 2, electric boogaloo:
OP in your post you state you want Wallpaper Engine to work, unfortunately, you'll have issues there. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish with wallpaper engine you may be able to do the same using KDE Plasma. I personally use a VLC command line call to enable animated wallpapers on my rig, there's not exactly a standard for it on Linux so many of the solutions you find will be clunky. Just remember if you go around messing with your xorg.conf file you need to have a backup of it so you can undo changes easily in a terminal.
You're welcome to DM me if you need assistance.
This is an extremely popular opinion among those who've not unpacked that what you're describing is eugenics
My one complaint in your comment is the "if you're a good artist you'll find work", it's simply not true.
I'm a shit artist (im an untrained outsider slapping paint on surfaces to vaguely resemble what my clients ask for) and I find work, yet none of my friends who are legitimately talented are finding anything.
Hey friendo I think you accidentally a word
The youngest millenials are almost 30, dude's gotta get a new hobby or something, rants about Millenials haven't been the in thing for like 10 years now.
