I missed? Such an important was not mentioned

NoNewPrivileges=yes

"A new system.conf setting NoNewPrivileges= is now available which may be used to turn off acquisition of new privileges system-wide (i.e. set Linux' PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS for PID 1 itself, and thus also for all its children). Note that turning this option on means setuid binaries and file system capabilities lose their special powers. While turning on this option is a big step towards a more secure system, doing so is likely to break numerous pre-existing UNIX tools, in particular su and sudo."

Works even in JSlinux. https://bellard.org/jslinux/vm.html?url=buildroot-x86-xwin.c...

Download old qemu. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e6UJcTC9FfwO20xzvcasTToPoaT...

Load into jslinux. And execute the following commands in xterm.

gzip -dc qemu-0.9.1.tar.gz | tar xf - -C/

mkdir /dev/shm && mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /dev/shm

SDL_NOMOUSE=1 qemu -k en-us -m 4 pi.vfd

Necessary condition, Xorg must work with the fbdev driver.

Just 2 and a half years ago I was running the kernel 4.10 on such equipment - AMD K6-2 300MHz, 3DFx Banshee (AGP2x), Trident 9440 (PCI), television card bt878, sound card Maestro, SoundBlaster Creative. Everything worked. I am sure that it would also move under the latest 5.3-rc2. A bigger problem is with the right (ready) userland (i486, i586) than using old hardware with the latest kernel.

It's easier to create a new user account and run firefox from it. Something like: xhost +si:localuser:firefox && su - firefox -c 'DISPLAY=:0 HOME=/home/firefox firefox 2>/dev/null' && xhost -

In this list, I see more than 40 ARM-based models. This is very, very much compared to the list of commercially available M$ Surface. In comparison with the number of Android devices it's a drop in the sea.
