Demo uses Wayland.
That notebook has early 2000's written all over it, considering that however, I was really surprised how well it was able to run the OS in general. Never in my life, would I have expected a 1.2GHZ machine with only 2GB of RAM, to handle Gnome desktop at all, much less the Gnome 46 version!
Believe it or not, the OS felt a bit snappy on that old hardware, and the install taking only 15 minutes, on old EMMC hardware, is really quite impressive, I could swear it took longer to install Zorin OS 9, on a 7200-RPM mechanical HDD, back in 2014!
I however, (based on the specs) was not surprised it couldn't handle processing anything beyond 360P. That machine was made in the still used CRT days, computers of that era, was not made for YouTube 2.0 days, of high definition video/audio.
Having said that, I was happy that the speakers could get that loud at least, not that I would recommend using old notebook speakers that is, headphones would be far better. Some cheaper smaller modern notebooks, come with worse speakers then that though!
If the notebook can't handle 480P video, its unlikely able to play games or do production workloads. But, if you just need a computer to check email, do social media, Zorin appears to handle that ok on that machine, I just wouldn't surf the whole web with it, a little too slow for that.
But of course, were on internet 3.0 now, so that machine doing it at all, is a complete miracle. I loved how you tiled the performance analyzer, along with Brave running on the other side, it was a great way to monitor the performance on the fly.
Dude, your getting a Dell, 25 years ago haha! I kid I kid, you know, I may not have been one with their nonsense commercials, or their proprietary desktop build designs they are known for, but I do love their gaming/production monitors.

Kudos to instagram.com/joshwal, the maker of the video, please.
It's a good demo, I think.
