To be blunt, if you just want to use video conferencing and not learn 
how video conferencing works (or does not work) on Linux, I would use 
Windows or macOS.


As for the broken Debian computer, I would back up the data, install a 
small SSD, install Debian, wipe the 1 TB drives, create an md mirror, 
create an ext4 file system, restore the data, install Samba, and share 
the data.


It is useful to have a USB flash drive with Debian installed on it, to 
use as tool for working on other computers.


It is useful to maintain a folder in a version control system for each 
host, with an administrator journal (plain text file), system 
configuration files, and anything else useful for setup, configuration, 
and maintenance.  I use Vim and CVS over SSH.
