Yes, but it depends on what you want to do with it. HN is still fast enough on it with Firefox, the terminal works well, too. Good DEs like https://sxmo.org/ are snappy.

Never heard of that before. A quick search doesn't reveal sufficient documentation to form an opinion. Do you have better resources?
Can't find it for sale in the online shops I usually use (Germany), either.
