      Also still using my 2016 tower PC. The only thing slowly getting its way is new software using x86-64v3 instructions which I did not knew was a thing till the Mario Kart Wii PC port did not run :(

      I have a couple from 2009 still chugging along. Seriously, for a little web browsing and basic YouTube. They’re more than adequate.

        Slap a low-resource Linux flavor on them and they’ll keep going for years! I’m running Nobara and love it.

          I currently have one of Action Retro’s favorite distros on there. A little MX Linux. Before that, I had the latest beta of haiku. Which I really liked, but was having some graphical issues. ATM though thinking about nura x86. It makes KDE plasma almost almost usable on 4GB of ram with an arm tablet I have. I figure 10-20 bucks to double the DDR2 in it and it should feel almost modern.
