2ghz 2cores 4gb of ramdubs decide what I do with this piece of shit
>>107067667drop kick it
>>107067667Leave Linux on it and give it to some literally poorfag.
>>107067677winrar, based sane and sensible option
>>107067667keep it in good condition so you can sell it for a couple thousand to some nostalgiafag in 10 years
>>107067677>>107067688Based
>>107067677well that was fucking lame. fine.>>107067696I put linux on it, that killed the nostalgiafag value
>>107067667give it to mesession id055eadd3a43305a0364ee88887f9b9742d30269aa5289bc5db3cd9589856b8827c
>>107067696Yeah like people paying 1000+ bucks for 25 year old G4 or G3 Macs... NOT. More like 100 bucks MAX. >>107067707>I put linux on it, that killed the nostalgiafag valueIt's not like it isn't irreversible, just no point.
nvm, didn't get the dubs
Install /g/entoo.
>>107067667I had one of those, upgraded the RAM, installed an SSD and PopOS & then gave it away. WIsh now that I hadn't
>>107067822>second dubs>also about giving it awayI think the answer is clear, OP
post the wallpaper please
>>107067729You underestimate nostalgia.
>>107067879No, I deal with retro/vintage hardware as a "side hustle". Sure you can rip off retards if you're skilled and get lucky, but usually you won't get more than the actual common market sales value.
>>107067872Full res:https://files.catbox.moe/vx5gks.pngPretty sure it was also included as a stock wallpaper for some distro.
>>107067933ty nony
>>107067667by far the most useful and satisfying project you could do with this is disposing of it in the most disrespectful way you can think of
>>107067707>well that was fucking lame. fine.It's for the best Anon, these old iMacs are still perfectly serviceable as web browsing/emulation machines. Keep it around.>t. I have four of these but they are mid 2011 iMacs with i5 or i7 CPU's so they are slightly more useful. My Grandpa uses one to peruse ebay.
>>107067667Gentoo
>>107067667Install a classic MAC emulator on it and install OS9.
>>107067667Gentoo and play runescape
>>107067667Install the Luanti engine and then VoxeLibreYou quite literally don’t need more than this.
>>107067667if dubs you must cum on it
>>107067667install windows 7
>>107067667TOSS THAT SHITGET
>>107067667if dubs you must cum in it
>>107068720I bust fat nuts would have been funny
>>107067667>XFCEThat iMac's lit af Anon, just browse around with it, I still use a Core 2 duo 4GB laptop for basic browsing the same way you'd use an iPad for.
>>107069016Part of me wants to disable the wifi and larp as a writer on this thing. It can also run emulators just fine, which is a pretty great use case given the screen is decent and the speakers are surprisingly good.
>>107069028>which is a pretty great use case given the screen is decent and the speakers are surprisingly good.Yeah the 1680x1050 on a 20 inch screen is pretty damn good, even the 24 inch imac with 1920x1200 is right on par with what I use to this day, I would just watch blu ray rip torrented movies on VLC player, Anon.
>>107067667Fuck it
>>107067667Install Batocera or some other emulation distro and use it as a dedicated retro gaming system.
>>107067667Take it to your local Apple Store or household hazardous waste disposal place and have them recycle it
>>107069398This, depending on if it's an 07-08 iMac which can can put in 6GB of DDR2 or the based 2009 which can fit 8GB of DDR3, they're really not that useless when you trick it out, I'm not saying be a baby duck but you could probably put Windows 7 on there and run some really good software and games, or just use Linux and have it as a basic use machine, Core 2 CPUs still fucking slap after all this time, this used to not be a thing with computers when they got old but an old iMac has it's uses still, I remember dankpods making a video about how stupid iPad pros were because they didn't run a desktop OS, but then he showed his 2007 iMac recording 4K video off a webcam and running Logic Pro
>>107067729Wait I was told macs will only increase in resale value, someone told me buying macs is actually an investment, kinda like wine and gold.
>>107069464I'm not sure about wind and gold, but there is a point where Apple product to have a slight collector value, like right now the Core 2 era aluminum macs aren't really worth shit, but give it some and it may be worth hundreds of dollars the sweet sweet era of Mac OS X Tiger through snow leopard is special to me and a lot of people, and so is the hardware that it runs on.
>>107067667warcraft 3
>>107067677Kek lives
>>107067667I recommend that you install lubuntu on it so you can make it feel fast again and make sure to install essential software and this can be a backup computer in case the others break. I had to do this with my old computers in the past and it saved me money and let me continue doing my work no matter what. It will be decently fast overall or at least usable. I did this several years ago on an old hand me down MacBook from 2012 and also one from 2013 and then HP Pavillion from 2017. This has always been my hack to get computers to be usable again and not wasted.
>>107069652At least he's got XFCE on whatever Linux that is, even on something like Xubuntu or Mint XFCE, you're doing pretty good at not being crazy bloated.
>>107069735I believe that bloat is always the enemy when it comes to OS which is why when I get any computer I immediately uninstall the default os and pick a non bloated distro and not install windows 11 or keep Mac osx.
>>107069807Based debloater, it's really a shame XFCE Linux distros aren't sold on the shit low end laptops, because I thought my old coffee lake computer was a piece of shit, but I go to the store, and there's laptops being sold with 8 gigs of ram on the low end, and 4gigs of it's an extremely cheap sub $200 laptop yet they're putting Windows 11 on it. which has got to be the most miserable experience ever. Imagine how great a sub $400 laptop could be as your daily system running Xubuntu or something like that, I crammed 16GB of ram and a cheap 2.9GHz i5 into a 2013 Toshiba laptop and the thing is an absolute monster for basic laptop use on Linux
>>107069843I would say that on my old 2017 hp Pavillion with 4gb ram that I got for high school and college back then, windows 10 back then ran for a year max and it was as slow as mollassess and took 5 minutes to boot after that but once I installed lubuntu (xubuntu can be installed as well) with xfce, it booted up faster and became usable and not so slow when using a browser, I feel like laptops with windows 10 back then in 2017 and now windows 11 in 2025 will experience planned obsolesence,I feel like its definitely a sales tactic they use to make people buy a new computer every two years. This is why I tell everyone with any lower end or entry level laptops they buy to immediately install linux and use windows 11 on a virtual desktop or emulate the software if truly needed like if they have to use it for work or school and for some reason weren't already given a company laptop, but an xfce desktop environment with lubuntu or xubuntu is recommended for the actual os. This is how to defeat planned obsolescence of windows 11 updated premately aging your computer or bloat. My old laptop cost 500 usd in 2017, however it's good the new lower end computers are cheaper now because they can be bought easier and installed xubuntu or lubuntu on and they have better specs than my 8 year old laptop.
>>107069903It's absurd how hard Windows 11 obsoletes computers with relatively decent specs, I remember back when I was a Windows user, wondering how Linux bros would be getting by with such meager specs, well when your OS isn't absolute dogshitbloat, you can get away with not that much in the way of hardware, which is fucking awesome because a Linux user can spend very little money and get a computer that does everything they need for a good while before they spend another little bit of money and just keep upgrading when they want more speed to run things they want to run.
>>107069921Indeed, lubuntu on my hp Pavillion lasted me for 4 years and I used it daily (I used it for 5 but windows 10 was used for the first year since it came preinstalled) before I got my acer nitro 5 in 2022 that i use now with pop os. I also uninstalled windows 11 from that after 3 years of using windows 11 for modded Skyrim but windows 11 caused too much bloat and killed my battery life so I went back linux. From now on all my computers will be linux from day 1 to avoid the windows update planned obsolence. I only upgraded my laptop when I had to and my hp Pavillion with lubuntu got too slow for college back then and was making it hard to meet deadlines. Linux really stretched my money though for ages and that's why I recommend it to everyone and I think my acer nitro 5 will last at least 4 years more now. I've had it for 3 years and now it runs as good as the day I got it when I switched it to linux after windows 11.
>>107069962Based Linux, desktop computers made over 10 years ago with support for 32GB of RAM should be usable for a very long time and they're stupid cheap, the internet itself is bloating to the point where 4GB is kinda pushing it with one tab of bloat open, but I think it's gonna take a long time before people say "oh wow bro you have 16GB of RAM? how are you even loading YouTube?"
>>107067707Just put some 2010 OS X or Vista style theme with KDE Plasma
>>107068635>Install the Luanti engine and then VoxeLibreBased. This is my exact setup as well.>even though horses can walk on water in the current beta version, but oh well.
>>107067667download more ram with zram
>>107067667moggs mine
>>107067667Use it as a secondary monitor.

>>107067872Good post/request>>107067872.
>>107068705Why are white men and white people in general so tremendously wasteful? Abundance breeds evil, lust and immortality.
>>107069652>and let me continue doing my work no matter whatWhat line of work are you in and what do you do there?
>>107072548relax, my non-white T1 help desk worker...i'll send you some easy tickets when i get back to my office after this tripwhat do you think the recycling places do with equipment anon?if you take a look at my webm there are no processors or memory, just super old boards/cases and some under appreciate admins having a bit of fun
>>107073115why did the first one go up in flames?
>>107067696>>107067729yep, I had an old G3, tried to sell it, took some time but the highest bidder was 80 eurodollar lmao
>>107073260Cheese pizza is oft very hot.
>>107067667>dubs decide what I do with this piece of shitThe call is easy, Linux + Windows XP, old games on Windows and indie games on Linux.
