From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

makes me think of the good ol't times when the air was cleaner, roads were safer and our bosses used to pay us in Thinkpads, not this "fiat money" nonsense.
I'm a gnu/linux noob. I recently installed Pop OS on two older laptops. Am loving it so far. Going to work on getting games functioning on one of them next.
Was blown away when the built-in Disks program was able to easily fix a couple of thumb drives I have that were suffering from logical corruption. They were completely unusable in Windows 11. I tried 4 different methods in Windows 11 to fix them, with zero luck. Disks fixed them in 2 clicks. They are nicer thumb drives and were somewhat expensive. I am very happy to have them back.
I wonder what distro did you use
Slackware and Debian would be the most popular period-correct options.
Half those laptops are older than Ubuntu.
I'd wager something like Mandriva being an option too. Fedora was meh at best at that time. Or even Suse.
Oh okay
These are good at holding all sorts of things like doors.
Libreboot it.
