This.
The wife has an ancient IBM we bought used 9 years ago when we set up the business. I have an LG which is almost as old. It wouldn't load Windows at my son's place of work, the boss 'wrote it off' and said my son could have it. He installed Fedora Linux and it has been my main work computer for 7 years since he 'retired it'.
Keep 'em clean and cool.
Best
