this solution (hardware AND software) was built and designed for a time that no longer exists. i simply will never understand your attitude, when you can buy a raspberry pi and have a completely better experience in every way other than going "WAOW, Modern Firefox on my PowerMac"

Despite the venom, I do not need you to agree with me.

I am not going to feel foolish enjoying excellent keyboards and screens instead of whatever I cobble together for a Raspberry Pi.

And it seems you just decided to ignore the whole native dev thing as well as the homelab. How many virtual machines and software defined networks do you run on Rasberry Pi?

I guess it also depends on what you mean by retro. I got a 2013 MacBook Air for $50 almost 2 years ago to take on a backpacking trip. It runs Chimera Linux now, with packages from an Arch Linux container. I used it at the park for a few hours this weekend. I took a video call on it this morning. My Rasberry Pi is not going to be better for any of that.

Anyway. I am glad you disagree. I would like my old hardware to be more affordable so the less demand the better.

again, a lot of this hardware and software was built for a time and a place. to understand what they were creating and the limitations they faced.

waow! i am using facebook on an sgi! waow!

funko pops.

you can plug a nice input device and display into that. you uh... you knew that right?

i literally said powerpc, so i guess, start there. x86 laptops are very common, insanely common in fact.
