I've got an old Acer 'netbook' that was the generation after eeePC as the 
industry tried to sort out tablets, fat phones, and so on. It had XP but 
this spring I went to Lubuntu. That distro did use LXDE originally but now 
it's LXQt.  LXDE is still around but the original people moved to Qt when 
GTK development was lagging.

The only problem I had was with the Broadcom wifi. I used a Panda USB 
dongle long enough to get the Broadcom drivers so now it's fine. 

When we first started looking at tablets at work we got a couple of Acer 
10" since they were easy to set up for development. After playing with 
them I got the 7" version. If I was going to carry a 10" I might as well 
use the 11" netbook with a real keyboard.

When 3G was phasing out I went from a flip to a smart phone. I don't make 
that many phone calls but I have a couple of apps for geocaching, fitbit, 
and slack. Also I need it for 2FA. The company VPN uses Windows 
Authenticator.
