Preach to the next generation do not go to school (public school is marxist-originated gov't propaganda at it's core; if not then why does the law require you to go to school in some areas), do not acquire debt. Learn real skills and trades. Tune in, turn on, and drop out.

I was home schooled until 4th grade. I finished my schoolwork in 2 hours and then played outside and read the encyclopedia the rest of the day.

The best upgrade for my old x86 hardware seems to be Haiku OS. The browser situation is getting better all the time. As the overall system becomes more stable, even the full-featured non-native QT-based browsers will be more stable as well.

Other thoughts: nextcloud server running a single service (multiple nextcloud services will run like a dog on small hardware).

TinyTinyRSS gateway/server (your own google reader).

Text only usenet caching server via gmane.io and the other servers like sdf.org.

SSH / VPN gateway.

I have the first gen Apple TV and it makes for a great streaming server and networked stereo system.
