      Well, the idea is to challenge yourself in some way. It’s not going to be much fun, if you just keep using your every day machine.

      Some people without actual old machines throttle down their CPUs, disable cores, or limit RAM.

      Others limit/allocate their time spent on a computer/internet a day.

      I’m doing no xorg on a T42.

        This is a healthy idea… But its so hot outside. Maybe I should dedicate time to napping.

      it’s called a lifestyle and it’s respectable.

          Same, but with a x220. Repasted, new ram, new battery, libreboot and Guix System. We are flying!

      surround it by 5 candles, light them, whisper a prayer to the spirit of the machine, boot it up

    @pmjv
    I have newer machines at my desk, i have a desktop with 12 cores waiting for a command yet when it is time for computing it is the job of x201.
    I love my x201.

    Hmmm. I have an old 2012 HP netbook running a first generation C-series AMD APU (think it’s the Brazos platform) kicking around somewhere. Could be fun (or horrible!) to try and daily driver that.
