Several Thinkpads ranging from a P50 with 32MB, a T540P (under restoration, broken screen - which is why I got it cheap...), A T42p (single-core Pentium M, 2GB but the 1600x1200 screen and keyboard make it one of my favourite machines), some T23s are in use as terminals. I can use these older machines because I offload heavier jobs to the server-under-the-stairs (DL380g7, 128GB RAM) which is reached through a VPN (Wireguard running on a virtual router on that same machine).
All machines run Debian Sid except for the server which, through Proxmox, offers a variety of operating systems through containers and VMs. While Debian Sid is supposed to be "unstable" it is quite stable in practice, probably also because I shun the more fancy bits given that I run Xmonad on X11 instead of some glitzy/glitchy desktop environment on Wayland...
