I had a 13 years old Acer Aspire One notebook in the drawer. I installed lubuntu on it and now it is strong enough to run firefox at a reasonable performance. As long as I'm not streaming Netflix or similar, then its good enough to use one of my most used websites ;)

Wow... an Acer Aspire that old that is functional at any level should probably make it into the record books.

I could sure go for some apples in juice right about now.

Installing an SSD in anything is a good way to bring new life to an old PC.

Ubuntu is great. Ran it for years.

Yeah - those lightweight distros can really squeeze the last few years out of an old PC.
