I'm writing this email on a Pinebook Pro running Devuan, which I've had
for almost two years now. For me it runs a general set of travel
programs, including gPodder, Firefox, and Thunderbird. I don't know if
it will run Racket. I do occasionally use LibreOffice on it but not for
long periods. OOM killer does occasionally kick in, which is really not
unexpected.
