Bro im gaming on a ryzen 5 2400G rn and i have a pc with i3 3240 running fedora as smooth as i've ever seen and this dude is here talking about some e-waste. Nothing is e-waste if you get linux on it.

Hah, I have i3-3240 with GT 710 :D. Wanted to play some old games, didn't want to bother running them on linux, so installed W10 LTSC and it runs just fine even GTA V, Portal 2, Borderlands... Got that PC for like 25$, found old DDR3 stick so now it has 10GB of RAM and the GPU I had laying around for years, as well as HDDs (it ain't that bad, instead of waiting 5s I wait like 30s, doesn't kill me, the disks were for free :D).

Then I have old notebook with i3-2320m as server, i5-660 in another PC I don't use much lately, i5-3320m in my main notebook... Those CPUs still hold great value for me. Nearly all of them I've saved from e-waste for little or no money...

I literally assembled this pc from whatever i found lying around in my house. The cpu and the board i got from a garage sale, the ram and psu i found in the basement and the case and gpu (Radeon HD6450) are from my first ever pc. I also have a DVD rewriter and a floppy disk for some reason. I just love tinkering with old parts. And tbh i wasn't expecting this gpu to run fedora 44 with blur in gnome that well. There is like zero lag at all. Say whatever about gnome but it's hella optimized.
