It’s an older think center headed for the dust bin at $job. Always hated the fact I had no access to Endeavour @$job so experiment time!

My prediction is yes, it will install and work. I could be wrong, of course.

So it is an old dual core AMD with integrated graphics and 4 gib ram. Works fine in i3

Not that bad
You can run KDE easily in there

BTW I use i3wm 
Seriously though i have been using i3 on the main rig for a few weeks now. With this I can play around with .config files and then move them over to the main machine.

but…but…i3 is soooo bloated…One would want to check something like dwm

Check your journalctl -p 3 -xb just to make sure

Yeah i remember when starting out, we’ve learned this command simultaneously with @antechdesigns for good on Deepin’s bug tracker…that’s most useful command out there

Yes I have to add this: ivrs_ioapic[7]=00:14.0 ivrs_ioapic[8]=00:00.1 to my grub on a sabertooth motherboard.
Obviously @BONK numbers maybe different [7] [8]
