The increased adoption of gaming pcs over console has made pc hardware manufacturers greedy. The cost for a modern setup isn't nearly worth it. My solution is that I don't care about running modern games anymore. I'll gladly only spend $200 on an old office pc + outdated low profile gpu. Sure, I'll only be able to play Morrowind at decent fps but guess what my favorite game is? Morrowind.

Seeing how reviving old PCs is a hugely important thing to use Linux for, it's really strange to me how difficult it is to find out which distros works best on old hardware!

People say many things, but it's hard to find real benchmarks. Tried Lubuntu and Zorin Core on one laptop I have here, and it was not OK. AntiX seems fast enough, but unfortunately too nerdy to give to a non-nerd.
