I still remember when having a laptop was some kind of impossible; a super technology that we didn't have access to. Just having a PC in home was luxury.
In 2023 I had to buy one laptop for a job, and spent literally 100 bucks for an used Intel i3 10th gen with 8 gb RAM and a 256 SDD that works PERFECTLY until today for any office automation, youtube videos, movies, etc.
Honestly, everytime I turn this thing on I can't believe it.

I'm with ya! I am a strong advocate for the used #thinkpad market - incredible #Linux (and #bsd?) machines for any budget $50 or bigger.
I'm running a radio station server (backup) on a 2006 thinkpad. It just always works. Insane.
Do people know about this?
Not just thinkpads. Here you can buy 2nd hand m710 tiny Thinkcenters for about 100CAD. 4 of those and a cheap switch and bam! You got yourself a nice little compute cluster 🤓

You bet! Same down here.
I'd really like to get #libreBoot onto 'em, and start handing them out to people who can use them.
