Install a Linux Distro. Connect to external monitor, plug power into wall.
Use it for a dedicated torrenting machine or use it as a test machine for whatever you like. If you kill it, whatever.
Otherwise I would just take that SSD out and recycle the machine.
I use a Medium theme on my desktop. It’s not dark or light. It really works for me.
I found it here, https://github.com/blue-mood/blue-mood-kde-color-scheme
I was actually looking for a Med-Dark charcoal theme and decided to try this first. I’ve used it for years now.
They are twins with Microsoft. New product, massive hype, dead in 3 years.
I highly recommend Kubuntu. I don’t use any snaps though. And I always install the LTS version. Been using it for over a dozen years.
I second RuTracker, you can find some pretty rare out of print stuff.
I really liked Mint at the time, but only the KDE version, and would never have left if they hadn’t stopped supporting it. They had great nVidia support. I no longer have nVidia on any of my computers because it’s just annoying to fight with that mess.
Plus Linux as a whole has better driver support than it used to.
In 2007 I tried Ubuntu and it was weird, then again in 2008, no! In 2009 I found Mint and was really happy, until they stopped supporting KDE. Then I tried a ton of distros, Xfce, no. Lxde, no. open suse, no. fedora, no, lots of others, no. I finally found Kubuntu and I have been on it ever since. Even tested Neon lately but hated it.
Kubuntu does what I want it to do.
Linux always seems scary at first, but once you learn enough, it’s super easy.
McAfee Antivirus.
Got so tired of the software slowing down the computer and freaking out over non-virus programs. Also the price to renew was stupid.
No need for AV running 24/7 on Linux.
After using a few different distros over a couple of years I decided to never go back to Windows (and I detest Apple so that will never be an option), and I settled on Kubuntu.
So. Damn. Happy.
The top secret classified, for your eyes only papers will finally be revealed and we will find out that…
we have all been using BETAMAX this whole time, not Linux. O_o
Elon, complaining about all the “crimes” other people are committing and he’s going to come in and “save” us all.
AKA, all his “complaints” are the crimes he intends to commit against us all.
Conservatives worship hypocrisy.
I use Open Sans for System and in LibreOffice https://www.opensans.com/ .
And these are good resources as well, https://fontlibrary.org/
100% agreed. I personally hate the Appleverse, so Gnome just irks my gears.
KDE Nation, we are armed with Plasma!!!
Sweetie, I am very familiar with lotz & lotz of nix.
Refer to my previous post for Nordic jokez.
Takk skal du ha.
We have no Baloo on this rig.
And Thunar was a thunder god, not a king.
Come to the dark side, KDE has Dolphin and it swims faster than any gnome could.
I use Discogs to find music I’ve never heard of, and artists/bands that I have forgotten about. I choose an artist I love, and then just click on the genre link in their profile to see others in that same genre. You can also click on the links of other bands they were in. There is also a Recommendations carousel that appears at the bottom of the page.
Libraries do pay for licensing of all MS software, as well as many other databases.
And any IT person working in a library usually is managing a Unix server so Linux is not something they are unfamiliar with, they even use linux servers.

Elon is bonkers, a bully and disconnected from reality. He lives in his own made up world where he thinks he’s perfect and a genius.
Reality keeps breaking into his delusional self-made world.
Eventually he will crack like a carton of eggs dropped from the Burj Khalifa.
Lawsuits will just be one of many realities to shatter his world.
And, he will bring it all on himself, just like trump did.
Elon’s worst enemy on planet Earth is… ELON.
It’s SUPER hard to use. I had to download an .iso from my distro’s website, make a bootable USB drive, plug that into my computer and boot into it, answer a few questions and wait a few minutes, A FEW MINUTES… can you believe that??
And then It had the audacity to give me a super easy, working, private OS! Like what the fuck!
How bloody dare you make my life difficult. I was expecting to be TRACKED and EXPLOITED and BOMBARDED with ads all day.
Instead I get all this calm and happiness??
FFS!
