Watching #BRASUI on my 12 year old Thinkpad X60, just for fun. It runs Libreboot and Debian Sid and handles it perfectly - the HD stream causes only ~30% CPU load.
It's really not necessary to buy new hardware all the time. May this be a reminder :)
@resist_berlin I've been using a $130 thinkpad x230 I bought second hand on gumtree here in London 6 months ago. It works great.
