One's needs are much different from other one's needs.

Not blaming your setup is bad for your needs, but I'm pessimistic on ideals of 700 days uptime and not changing things for 16 years. Sign of stagnation for me.

My needs includes being able to cast my screen to TV or play music via AirPlay or chat in Slack/Mattermost or run some ML/Cuda stuff or tell (by voice) my laptop (Cortana actually) to set alarm for 5 minutes or...

I'm not sure I could do all that with setup of the sort you have.

Just use HDMI.

> Music

VLC has Chromecast support, and maybe Airplay.

> Slack

Bitlbee has plugins for everything. Just plug your fav IRC client.
