I stopped out at grandma's place and she was reminiscing the 2000's and the PCs my pops set up for her. He was smart and loaded Mandriva or Ubuntu from the early years I think. Still didn't keep her from borking emails or going wild with the Shop at Home Network.
Pops still builds PCs, has Ubuntu over a last gen i9 build.
I'm a bottom feeder, build Linux boxes from scraps or old tech. One of my machines boots from HDD still :). I'm itching for a new build though (probably buy a new case and throw some parts together).
