I feel personally attacked IT WAS $5

OK

Freebsd is very different from linux, ive spent a few hours trying to get gpu drivers working for this crusty CPU.

Old hardware has a special place in my heart, aswell as my shelf >:)

That's exactly what I did in the late 90s/early 2000s. Never regretted it.

Try getting Linux to run on a 486 w/4MB RAM and a 40MB hard drive. You tend to learn a lot while getting the most out of that.

I would reverse the clown images so that the user starts as a clown and ends not one

I run a Windows 7 laptop and bought a PC at Value Village and maxed out the RAM thanks to Aliexpress. Junk FTW!!

So far I have resisted but I still regret not buying the 160GB ram HP workstation for 20 bucks a couple weeks ago :(

Also, it's a good idea to have 2 or 3 SBCs sitting in a drawer unused, for the sole purpose of looking at them when the urge to buy something hits again.

OP after trying Linux:

Im strongly considering a decent into madness. Where should I start if the computer I will need to adapt is a 12 year old Macbook pro?
