perhaps i have not introduced this part of the net to PonderSlab; this is a Thinkpad T61 from around 2006. it's got a Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, a 250 GB SSD that I added myself, and it's currently running FreeBSD 15.1 because I got bored.

It's more usable than I expected it to be in this setup; there's some things I have not figured out yet, but it seems comfortable with LXQt.
