Your laptop with GNU/Linux/OpenBSD would be perfectly fine for tons of tasks: - Links/Dillo Mainline as a browser - Dillectory: https://alex.envs.net/dillectory/ - Gopher and gopher://magical.fish and gopher://sdf.org - MPV + yt-dlp, max 480p or 360p. - Mocp ofr music - SLRN for this - IRC+Bitlbee-libpurple for IRC and IM - Abiword/Ted + GNUMeric + Gnuplot - PFE runs pretty well as a Forth, altough I hate it's block handling
