I had to switch to linux mint on two old machines because for some reason, the X11 server refused to start to get on a graphical session. Not Cool

Why should it not be?
Just because some $DEITY@Redhat has decided you to throw away your old hardware you must do so?
Up to fc25 it was technically perfectly possible to run Fedora on a variety of old hardware. Wth f26 things have tightened - f26 runs on some ix86s but doesn't on others.
Whether it is feasible for a personal use case, is up to you to decide.
I chose Fedora because I run Fedora on all of my machines and because I didn't want to add the personal load to maintain yet another OS.
Now RH and FESCO seems to be want to push me to draw a decision - ATM, I am evaluating other distros and am not sure I will continue support Fedora.
On my older
32-bit PCs, the notion of running Gnome or KDE is impossible. They're
too slow for being fancy with the graphics card. And, some can't even
run a modern distro, because they can only take 1 gig of RAM. The
minimum specs for running Fedora have crept up and up over the years.
Well, don't read too much into the docs. I have been running Fc26 w/ xfce4 on a Pentium III w/ 512MB RAM. No way with Gnome or KDE on this system.
