There’s a special kind of pride in keeping an old Linux machine alive. 🐧 What’s its role in your setup today?

@CollaboraOffice All my ‘modern’ machines broke, so my dad and I dug out an old, pre-EFI laptop, donated by a friend...

@CollaboraOffice I love #Linux on old PCs, like my X201 Tablet.

But seriously, I don't really know anything useful to do with these old machines. Batteries are hard to come by and they can't really do anything that a more modern PC can't also do.

So while I love having a modern OS on 15-20 year old devices, they are all more or less collecting dust, as I've realised how much time I have to spend and how little I gain if I try to keep them in sync with my daily drivers.

@CollaboraOffice My daily driver is a laptop from 2018 running Zorin OS Pro.
