I'm using CentOS 7 on an Asus Eee PC 701. RHEL 7 doesn't have an
i686 version but CentOS supports it as an altarch.
Advantages:
- it has all that familiar Red Hat goodness;
- unlike CentOS 8 it'll be supported until RH

Be careful with a "-y" on a dnf/yum remove. I have seen yum/dnf determine
that a lot of packages need to go. The protected multi-lib/packages may
stop a total disaster, but you could also remove a lot of packages you
don't want to remove and have to go back through the list and reinstall a
lot.

It is that a Qemu VM with a 1280x960 display is now exactly one pixel row
shorter, vertically, after adding up all of the window title bars and the
panel on the XFCE desktop. It fits exactly on my 1920x1080 monitor.

I'd use dnf. It provides a much wider safety net.
You can do this with rpm as well, but it requires greater care.

In order to find out why the screensavers are so slow I would suggest
