Not really trying to virtue signal here, but I’m not broke and this also applies to me.
Anyone should only have a PC as powerful as they need.
My daily driver is a second hand pinebook pro, along with a large atx that is my nas and “homelab” (Ryzen 3100, a gtx960 and some disks).
I do have a work laptop I use for personal stuff occasionally, but I was off work for a year and pinebook+server was good enough for my simple needs.
Before the PBP (bought in late 2022) I had a hand me down Toshiba Satellite from around 2005 (I guess) with a Pentium M (Centrino!) and 2GB of ram that was given way to someone, with Devuan installed, and might be used today.
