I'm curious #linux nerds. Do any of you have any interest in old ass hardware like this? An Acer aspire 5100. It boots up and runs #debian 13. But of course it's slow.

I'm bringing a ton of hardware to #linuxfestNW to give away. Would anyone even take stuff like this or should I recycle it?

@codemonkeymike I won't be there, but I'd definitely take it! So yeah, you'll probably find someone interested in it over there

@vitu cool thanks. Yeah I mean. I think it's cool but I'm weird. I didn't want to even bother trying to give it away if no one wants it

@codemonkeymike we're all a bit weird hahaha
But I'm pretty sure you'll find more people interested in it, just like we are, on a linux festival

@codemonkeymike unfortunately, I am unable to collect old hardware right now.

@codemonkeymike My bet is it's the first laptop to go at LFNW 😄. Nerds can't help themselves around "vintage" tech.

@codemonkeymike That device looks awesome, I'm sure someone would want it! Btw I'll probably be at #linuxfestNW this year! :)

@codemonkeymike I might be interested in some old Nucs or similar sized mini systems. I've been experimenting with kubernetes recent, and even already repurposed my old laptop (which the monitor on it had died on).
