It's a decent machine. If you haven't already, a €0 upgrade would be dusting it. For a little money you could get a tube of thermal paste and reapply it to both the CPU and GPU. If the thermal paste has never been replaced on either, then I would say it is time.

Other than that, I vote for trying out Linux on it. The system is good enough that you don't even have to aim for lightweight distros, I'd say. Try out any distro you like.

It should be good enough for a daily driver Linux PC with some mild gaming thrown in as well.

Although, If the hard drives are as old as the rest of the system, you may want to avoid storing important data on them.

Edit to add: if you have need for a smart TV, using this as a HTPC (home theater PC) could also be a good idea. The only thing you'd need to buy for this would be a wireless keyboard with a touchpad. And that's optional. (Although, I would highly recommend it since I use one with my HTPC, and it's great.)

My account is 3 years and 5 months old. I joined Lemmy before it was cool, because I like open source things. In fact, when I joined, Lemmy.ml was the main/recommended instance. Now you all hate it.

Lemmy used to be a barren wasteland of content. Now it is not. I've noticed no further changes. The tankies, the in-fighting, the debates about whether to de-federate with instances, the arguing over whether it's becoming too much like reddit - it's all been here as long as I can remember.

The movie "Legally Blonde." Reese Witherspoon's character gets into Harvard to be closer with the male, her ex.

He, astonished, asks for clarification if she got into Harvard, and she responds with the bottom text.

You are searching for FOSS apps. You are a minority. There is no incentive to make AI lie about whether or not an app is FOSS - it's just not a selling point to the vast majority of people.

However, AI is incentivised to give you an answer that it "thinks" will make you happy. That's one of the reasons why it lies all the time.

I've heard Walmart won't even consider your application unless you list yourself with completely open availability. I can confirm that is what I listed when I was hired, over a decade ago. (I don't work there anymore, so this isn't direct insight.)

Dollar general is always looking for people. It's a shit job, but I worked there for a couple years back when nobody would hire me. Working somewhere looks better than not working anywhere for 2 years on a resume.

They're proud that they managed to keep the child alive long enough for this to happen.

But seriously, losing teeth can be scary and painful for children. The parent can be proud their child was mature enough to make it through the process without any/too much crying.
