    I’m currently daily driving a 2009 MacBook with Debian 12 XFCE, essentially on 3GBs of RAM because I’ve also got an Ubuntu server running for a little sysadmin course I’m doing (Linux upskill challenge if anyone’s interested), and I really can’t complain! If anything, the 2.4 GHz wireless card is an issue, but that just makes my downloads slow 🤷‍♂️

      I got a really great deal on a server recently by getting a workstation from a local university surplus store with an i7 6700, and was able to fit it out with a 256gb ssd and 16gb of ram from ebay for a combined total of $70. I’m just using it for a video game server currently but I plan on possibly hosting a personal website there in the future.

      It was probably a bad idea to get the drive used but it was only $15 and I’ll start backing it up once I get some files on it that I actually care about.
