After some inspiration from @GammitinGammitin (Ben) 💾, I installed Linux Mint on one of my 2010-era PCs (but with a SATA SSD). Honestly had no idea what CPU or GPU I had until I booted it up.

The base OS is super responsive. Web browsing is solid. Plex can do 1080p streaming just fine (struggles on an 4K H.265 rip-and-encode). It runs Discord well. Only tested Balatro in Steam, but it ran fine.
