  • the issue is that its very old. when running it, you will use a ton more electricity and be a lot slower than even a 5-8 year old unused retail box/workstation.

    yes, you could throw ubuntu on there and it will work fine. then you could toss docker on there and play with some container apps for the kids maybe… like a mintecrafter server.

    but, like i said, youd be better off digging a more recent workstation out of some garbage can and doing the same thing.

    e. ha, just checked that is a desktop/workstaton box…i thought you were talkin a real HP server… they have much larger power requirements. that little box you have there would be fine for a little mini server for light apps.












  • i like not having to have a microsoft account to utilize it.

    you know whats really awesome? being able to decide if i want updates. or a tightly-integrated piece of shit llm.

    being able to modify literally every aspect of the shell.

    windows 3.1 was more theme-able than win11.

    linux works out of the box for all the old people i repurpose machines for and i dont have to think about cloud-connect bullshit. fuck, half of them dont notice its not windows until i mention it.

    better question is why the fuck would you use windows without being paid to?
