    I have an old Thinkpad, 32 bit and with such meager RAM it’s not even tempting to run any modern home server thingamajik on it. Instead I installed Debian without a DE and set it to open Midnight Commander on boot. From there I can open the built-in text editor and start typing. My current documents and notes are synced in with Syncthing.

    It’s far from pocket sized but whenever one of my other, newer machines inevitably break down, that’s what I pull off the shelf to keep working.

      That sounds like a pretty cool setup! It’s nice when there’s still good use cases for old hardware 😊
