    Us nerds using Linux with our old machines raging against the system slowly gaining market-share.

    I swear the majority of us nerds using Linux have pretty new and powerful machines - sadly that hasn’t ever been my case, though, but in online forums, Lemmy, Reddit, and what have you it feels like people interacting have pretty cool hardware.

      I have two ends of that spectrum:

      2010 IOmega arm board network drive, loaded with headless Debian for samba, minidlna, and 256MB RAM.

      And 2024 laptop with 32GB RAM and Nvidia RTX card for runing Tumbkeweed for gaming.

      Both run very well

      Its a half joke lol. Linux has an interesting history of both working on cutting edge setups and old stuff collecting dust. We are an eclectic bunch!
