MODERATORS
I have well over a dozen Linux machines running in my home. More than half of them would be considered garbage by most people. Clearly, I disagree.
At some point, though, you have to come to terms with the power usage.
One or two modern machines could do everything a dozen shitty old ones do (even if you have to emulates some of them as VMs), and with a lot less power usage than running a dozen shitty old computers.
Some of mine too lmao.
