For a time I made "little old lady" PCs. My neighbors and customers had no money for a new machine, needed their old system to keep going.

I'd clean it up, throw in whatever extra RAM I had on hand (HA! "extra RAM"!), update the BIOS, maybe update the CPU if I had one that fit, replace the HDD with an SSD, load Linux Lite. "Here's your browser. Here's your email. Any questions?"

Never once got a call from those ladies to come back and fix a thing.

Linux rules for simple stuff like unattended servers and FaceBook/email machines. It's only a PITA when you start trying to stretch out, do more.

I run Windows for my desktop, Debian Server for servers. Bring the hate! :)
