What about: Explore the neitherworld of gopher, IRC and the (telnet-)BBS community and be fine?

Well… i personally am completely ready to go to jail for inflicting bodily harm on a person using something like that…

Well, i use the same PC (an old HP 7800 “convertible Minitower”) now since about 2010 with various versions of Debian… in the last 15 years i honestly did not have any problems. But the stuff that i do is also pretty boring:

• Office stuff (started with open office, since about 5 years libreoffice)
• Mail (Claws-Mail… it works)
• Webbrowsing (Firefox)
• Image editing (Gimp)
• Watching videos and stuff with VLC
• 3D rendering with Povray
• Playing various native Linux games

Soooo… perhaps its the old hardware, perhaps its my boring behaviour of not changing anything as long as it works, but here everything works flawlessly for well over a decade.
