To get away from Apple hardware for a moment, I am typing this on the Dell desktop I purchased new in 2016. It's run Linux Ubuntu / Mint from shortly after I purchased it and still is my main machine. It also runs Win 10 installed in a Virtual Machine, which is disconnected from the internet, which allows me to run CAD. Over the years I increased the memory to 12GB and fitted an SSD, but so long as it keeps going I do not intend to replace it.

I have a Win 11 for my Garmin GPS, but its only booted up a few times a year to create and upload a route - it generally takes longer to install the updates than do the job I need
