# FredOS-Eee — Asus Eee PC 1000HG, a toy netbook running XFCE.
#
# Not built from common.nix: stylix, home-manager and hyprland would all
# compile from source for i686 (almost nothing is in cache.nixos.org for it)
# and wouldn't fit in 1GB anyway. Only locale + users are shared.
#
# Build on the server, never on the Eee — evaluating this flake alone would
# eat its 1GB.
