Strange premise but cool project. I think during a civilizational collapse and after there will be plenty of computers we could run plain old Linux and windows on.
- I_am_uncreative 3y agoYeah, in this world, I'd imagine we'd lose electricity before we lose access to computers.

The simple old stuff is hard to come by compared to the integrated modern stuff. To put it in perspective, a rough estimate is that there were 20 million Sega Master Systems ever sold worldwide, compared to 20 billion (and counting) smartphones.

I have a PS2 with a BlackRhino Linux LiveDVD mostly because it's interesting, but I don't anticipate ever having to use it for anything important.
