I have an N100 mini running firewall duties. It is more than
adequate for that.

I don't know about the laptops; I found it very easy to install Debian stable.

I have a very old mini -- 11 years old -- running an i3-3227U,
which is strictly inferior to an N100 in every benchmark and
technology.

It works just fine as a Debian desktop running X, XFCE,
LibreOffice and Firefox. Having enough RAM and an SSD goes a
long way towards usability.
