maybe use it for playing around and learning new stuff
Hmm, that’s a good idea, I have a homelab setup with my jellyfin server on it, but I don’t actually have a computer I can just mess around with and “ruin” the OS
I second this. It's great to have a scrappy laptop to test stuff out on.
No risk, all of the reward.
If it doesn’t already, upgrade it to a cheap SSD. You can get them as cheap as $10 brand new nowadays for 128GB. You’ll increase the boot time and make the future plans much better.
perfect machine to experiment with lightweight self-hosted services like pihole, wireguard vpn, or even a simple audiobookshelf server that you can acess from your jellyfin network.
