I had a 2011 MacBook Pro sitting around some years ago I had upgraded from and I offered it to my brother for his kids to use because of the built in child controls they could setup. He just told me a few weeks ago they were done with it and asked me if I could wipe it or tell him how to do it could be recycled.
I took it back, put Mint XFCE on it but I can’t give it away to anyone I know because it has Linux on it. I’ll probably get a display cable for it and run it as my torrent box.
Maybe, but I don’t really need it. I’ve got a 2U box mounted in the basement with a Synology DS920+ w/ 48Tb in SHR2 and a mini Asus running Ubuntu doing my heavy lifting.
This is the tough part.

You can self host a lot on something like that.
