is the aging hardware failing....or is the more modern software overpowering the aging hardware?

Release-critical bugs in Trixie - https://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/other/testing.html Only 158 to go! Some of this may be minor or have "trixie-can-defer" status.  Or is it 137 as posted on this page? - https://udd.debian.org/dev/cgi-bin/rcblog.cgi Whatever, that's not many bugs in the whole scheme of things. 🙂

Testing Gnome Web Browser from Thinkpad PC. It works well and I can save posts from it. Another example of why the aging hardware on the Netbook is failing.

Really the only browser I can use on this old netbook now is Midori. I can surf OK with GNOME Web but it won't let me post to this forum.
