OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...

mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.

I'm running 6.1.3
I just rebooted (had to, completely unresponsive). It restarts my unrar job and loads spike up again. Something about btrfs's transaction logging and unrar is causing very, very, very nasty IO lockups which will just result in the system grinding to a halt, because the FS can't handle normal work. Maybe I'm completely wrong here, but every time an unrar starts, it's trouble.
