I have a personal gaming desktop and, at last count, ~~three~~ four laptops. I'm part of an IT department and I have a bad habit. I take junked laptops from the scrap bin home and repair them, then lose interest once they're working again.
You can make that habit even worse by installing Arch Linux on them from scratch after repairing them.
๐ณ I kinda... did.
(Okay, Arch from scratch on one. Endeavour on another. Mint on a third.)
I like how it went from Arch to Mint.
Tinkering with Arch is fun. Using it, less fun.
lucrative habit if you resell them later
