I have a 2007 Acer laptop with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with LXQt which I use for torrenting. Works great.
You could also install batocera and run retro games and console emulators. I’ve done this with an old Raspberry Pi 1 from 2012 and my kid loves to play Sonic and Super Mario with it.
Switched to europe.pub and piefed.social. Looking forward to seeing piefed being more supported by mobile app such as Mlem (already announced) and voyager.
