My EndeavourOS machine is an AMD quad core with 8 GB of RAM so much more powerful. I installed Epiphany and it works great. This leads me to conclude the old Netbook has a hardware problem when it comes to Epiphany. Building Pale Moon is still a tedious process so I don't know what the result will be yet.
