Same here. I have several machines that are 10-15 years old, and

run great with Lubuntu (a light-weight version of Ubuntu).

Why bother about 10-15 years old computers when you can buy a new one
for 200 Euro?

If that is still too expensive, you could buy a Raspberry Pi and put
Linux on it.

I haven't done the Euro to Dollar conversion, but I haven't paid three
digits for any of my old computers.

then whatever you have is junk.

quality costs money.

Just because a widget is old is no reason to scrap it, especially if it
still works well enough to use.

then you must not be doing much.
