Thanks alot , i will try to find a browser that supports that os

Yep! No problem. As for discord, if you do find a browser that supports this mac, I would probably just see if the browser version (not the actual app) works. The Discord app's minimum version of MacOS is 10.15.

Google no longer supports Mac OS 10.4.11, like what your mac is running. You might have some luck searching around for a browser built for these older machines (I know absolutely nothing about macs, so I don't really have any suggestions, other than the fact that Google will not work on this system).

please tag me for a response, It's really hard to keep tabs on every thread I reply to. thanks!!

This is an uphill battle and probably not worth it because even if you succeed, it will run really slow and probably not be able to play videos.

You can try forcing a newer version of MacOS on it https://appleinsider.com/inside/macos/tips/how-to-run-new-macos-versions-on-older-macs-using-opencore

Or you can try installing Linux.

No matter what you do you need more RAM.
