This might be a dumb question, So my Toshiba satellite m100-221’s CPU supposedly has CPU support for virtualization, but there is no BIOS update file anywhere so is there a way to run OpenWrt and Debian as my docker host without virtualization or some type of virtualization that doesn’t need CPU support and doesn’t run terribly, I found that I can use OpenWrt as my docker host https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/virtualization/docker_host?s[]=go&s[]=option has anyone tried that does it work nicely?
edit: I tried openwrt as my docker host it works fine enough
Just the heads up, that cpu is ancient. Its performance is comparable to an Rpi 4, but that old cpu consumes 30W+ while a full rpi maxes around 6-7 W. Rpi 5 is around 4-5 times more powerful with third power.
So it’s good if you just tinkering with old hardware for fun, but you can buy far more powerful modern hardware for only several dollars if you look at the second hand market.
Also I remember, I dealt with Toshibas from that era, they were quite locked down, e.g. you couldn’t install upstream nvidia drivers on them only the outdated ones signed by Toshiba. So it’s not unexpected that some options like that are missing in bios settings.
