At home I use a 10 year old Gateway FX6860 desktop running ubuntu and awesomewm. This year she got brand new 16GB of DDR3 and a 500GB ssd and she is running great again. It runs all my web dev and example data pipelines like a champ, with zero issues. Runs Minecraft super well to play with the kids.

At work I have a failrly rediculous laptop. I do far more multitasking on it, so it does get used to its potential, but the difference to the 10yr old deskop is not off the chart. The one thing I really notice a serious bump in is video processing, obs/kdenlive.

Here she is on her 10 year birthday, getting ready for a solid cleanup.
