I Built Gamma Linux to Give Old PCs Another Life 
Hi everyone 
I’m building Gamma Linux, a free and open-source Linux distribution from Algeria .
The idea behind Gamma is simple:
No PC deserves to die.
I started the project around one question: what if old computers could still be useful instead of being thrown away?
Gamma is designed specifically with older and low-resource hardware in mind, with different editions for different hardware targets:
Legacy-32 — for older 32-bit x86 systems
Lite-Ghost — lightweight x86-64 systems
Pro-MaxMini — systems with more resources
What Gamma focuses on
Lightweight system design
Edition-specific ZRAM tuning
Lightweight desktop environment
Minimal base / 0-bloat philosophy
Calamares graphical installer
BIOS + UEFI boot support
Hardware compatibility and old-PC testing
Open-source build system and configuration
The current release is Gamma Linux 2.7 — Warden.
I’m trying to keep the project honest: no fake benchmark numbers, no “faster than everything” claims, and no pretending that every old PC will magically become fast.
The goal is simply to make old hardware useful again.

I’d really appreciate feedback from the Linux community.
If you have an old laptop or desktop sitting around, I’d especially like to hear about your hardware and how Gamma behaves on it.
Try it, break it, criticize it, improve it.
Even negative technical feedback is useful.
