The oldest hardware I’m still using is an Intel Core i5-6500 with 48GB of RAM running our Palworld server. I have an upgrade in the pipeline to help with the lag, because the CPU is constantly stressed, but it still will run game servers.

Not much really. Maybe being able to download random exes for silly shit, but I could always spin up a VM for that.
Idc what anyone says… It’s a good song
Fuck.

Yeah I was still using a CRT as recently as 2012. I think OP means analogue TVs.
Just a series of big ol’ orgies.
Hey I’ll help fund and work that too. 💪
Well, not that shocked.
It is kinda satisfying though, even if a little gross.

They tried that with Windows 8. It didn’t go over very well.
Is anyone surprised at this point?
In the earlier days of Plasma 6, it would crash on me when waking from sleep, so I had a small script that would basically restart plasmashell when waking so I didn’t have to wait the several seconds for the system to realize that it was frozen before I had a functional desktop.
I personally like this, so as far as I’m concerned, yes.
The final straw for me was Microsoft reinstalling software I had removed with updates, as well as installing crapware like Candy Crush, all in the background and without permission or notifying me. I left Windows back in August 2021 for Arch.
Until recently I had kept a Windows VM with a GPU passthrough set up until I decided I was done with Destiny 2. Now the only remnant of Windows in my life is a simple desktop in my living room that has a game I can only play on Windows, which is currently being ported to PS5. Once that port is released, it’ll be converted to a server running some atomic distro and become a fully dedicated server, and Windows will be fully removed from my life, ignoring PCs outside of my control like embedded systems.
Man I wish it was that cool. Controlling it remotely would be primo. Unfortunately, it’s not, and I work in a building that’s 183,000sqft. If I have it running automatically on the other side of the building and it gets stuck, I’m suddenly burning time to run over and unstuck it.
I got mine last January and it’s been pretty much flawless on Arch with KDE and Wayland. No regrets whatsoever. Battery life is probably the only weakness, but I also push my stuff hard. Overall, I’m super satisfied with the choice.
