Why? Its hardware is dog shit.
I mean, it can be fun to tinker regardless. I have a shitty Dell Inspiron from 2012 that I run Linux in CLI-only mode just for fun.
In fact it used to run my entire smart home, run long-running background tasks (like syncing huge files from an NFS share to Storj); hell at one point it was bringing in passive income as I rented out hard disk space.
4 gigs of ram, 100+ gigs of storage, and a cute design. Meh. At least it’s not totally useless.
