I got this PC from my dad when he upgraded in like December ish. I've been running Kubuntu on it and just using it like a sort of general purpose desktop for me and my wife, but I've got a hankering for some tinkering and feel like it has more potential, so I'd love some project ideas!

Yeah true, but don't feel discouraged if OOP never reads it in similar situations, a good answer is a good answer somebody will read and appreciate it, especially for this common-ish "What can I do with X old hardware?" type questions lol

I can't tell you how many times I myself was able to glean some insight from ancient forum threads where I was never the OP lmao

Fair enough. I'm a bit unsure whether that happens on Lemmy. My old posts and comments rarely get any votes, interactions or corrections after say two weeks. These people must either be completely passive, or no one reads it after that. With a few minor exceptions. But you're right. This has happened to me, too. So you have a point here.
