From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I figured as much. These are things that were given to me as an "otherwise it goes in the landfill" package deal. a couple have klipper over dietpi for my 3d printers but the rest are seemigly junk and I'll probbaly toss them in the electronics section at the recycle depot next time I go there
Ah, well in that case, fair enough.
I've done my fair share of ridiculousness to keep free crappy hardware running.
I will say, try running Alpine Linux on a container.
I've managed to extract some usefulness out of a borderline e-waste Android tablet running some flavor of Jelly Bean, so outdated you couldn't connect to most websites due to bad TLS certs, by running a Alpine Container on it.
Alpine was the only distro I found that could run up-to-date software on such a ancient version of the Linux kernel, everything else failed to work at all.
