Well I beg to differ and my stance is that anything with less that 4GB should 
be recycled unless you are a collector or need an old system for something 
special. I love older Thinkpads and one of my main laptops is an X230 from 
2012 but it is equipped with 16 GB and a 2 TB SSD. My most modern system is 
from 2018 so it is not that I push for replacing everything to run the latest 
Windows AI dross in full speed. I usually buy used but currently no need to go 
further than 6th gen Intel. 8GB and a 256 SSD is more or less the minimum 
these days unless you like self torture or confine yourself to very light 
browsing and mail only. Any media related site will eat up memory fast. You 
can get a used system from around 2010 with an early i5 or i7 for bird seed 
and it will likely consume much less energy than the old one, works well and 
pays for itself fast by reducing your energy bill.

x86 can still be cross compiled but the Windows one is currently broken 
because of a rust crate which needs a fix. At lest under Windows older gfx 
drivers before HD4000 and Nvidia Kepler are a pit too. I tossed out all AMD 
cards because of driver problems too.
