More than 'end', Dusk OS looks great for 2nd/3rd world machines
with very few requirements. You might find surprised that Lagrange
and protocols like Gopher and Gemini among https://telae.net
are used in some part of South America.

More than 'the end of the world', think about 'non reliable
sources of power', shitty internet connections and so on.

DuskOS with TCP/IP, gopher/irc and maybe some basic soundcard
support would be great for low end i386 machines.
