What are some good uses for an old laptop? - eviltoast

hello im back again…

so i recently upgraded a 11 year old laptop i use to use from 2gb of ram to 8, it made a big diffrent. also thanks to the linux community i decided on linux mint mate and its a pretty basic laptop.

i was going to use the laptop to make gaming videos with but it cant really game too well or record while gaming. it has another issue that is the battery is bad so it it to be plugged into a wall at all times, i guess its not very portable.

I litterly have no idea what to do now with it and i dont want to sell it sense i just upgraded the ram, like woudl it be better to try somethign else, any ideas by chance or things to share?

    Pretty much anything people have been running on raspberry PIs should work. Pinhole for ad blocking,home assistant for smart home, plex/media host, or a NAS.
