Retrospective of netbooks, the tiny low-end laptops that lit up the late 2000s

My sister had a Samsung model. There was a botched Windows 7 Starter install on it that ran like custard, so I installed a lightweight version of Ubuntu on it and showed her how to google any weird issues it might end up having. I think these machines would’ve been better off running some version of Linux anyways, the Windows editions on them were pretty unusable.
