I used to have to get up at 2am to start my shift at 4am and work 12 hours. It sucks but I got out of debt and eventually moved to a better position. These people have it so easy and now that's gonna end. Gonna be funny to watch them.

Doesn't matter if it'd be a trick or treat because both would certainly be sweet 👌

Dumpster Bin Special PC.

Remember, I installed Linux Mint on a Lenovo M715q with Athlon 200GE? That system has been running perfectly! Very impressed.

Then I made a "Parts Bin Special" PC (R5-3600, 16GB RAM, RX-6600, 500GB SATA SSD, 4TB HDD) and installed Bazzite on it. Very nice, although I haven't done much with it after that.

I thought, let's shovel deeper! How low can I go?

I had some old parts from 2012, so hacked together something that WILL boot Linux Mint. Some of my attempts wasn't successful, so this is the oldest parts I have tried that works.

Case & Power Supply are from an old Acer AX1935-UR20P that originally came with Intel Pentium G630 and Windows 7 Home Premium, but for some reason, Linux Mint didn't like the BIOS of this board. I imagine I can make it work if I messed with it some more, but meh.

I swapped the board with an Intel Executive Series DQ67EP, powered by Intel Pentium G630T. T-series is their lower power (35W) variant. Remember the short period in history ...
