@Suiseiseki I got this PC at a recycle center. It was perfectly fine aside from the front panel being a bit smashed so you couldn't press in the power button. I imagine whoever owned it ran the vacuum into it or something, and decided "oh well, better throw it out".

@waff @Suiseiseki nah lol I like to limit myself to make everything a lil bit challenging and fun. Plus programming with this potato PC forces me to create something non bloated because it forces me to over optimize stuff you wouldn't bother to do if you had a decent spec PC.

@wildebest @Suiseiseki i like your mindset. My mindset is that if theyre old and the parts are dirt cheap I might as well get the best of the best parts and treat the pc like royalty

@wildebest @Suiseiseki Your computer would thank you if you install Parabola GNU/Linux-libre with OpenRC.

@gabi @Suiseiseki I tried installing Hyperbola once and it was hell. Couldn't get my Audio driver running and had to spend weeks making my PC remotely usable to daily drive comfortably. Guess it's just my skill issues

@gabi @wildebest It's cringe - you're better off installing real GNU/Linux-libre or GNU/Hurd.
