Wait wait... if you had an old ass computer, why did you need the bleeding edge stuff? That doesn't make sense.
Also, I'm still skeptical about immutable distros. I like being in control of my PC. And I'm too old school I guess.
mostly cases like "experimental/preliminary support for xyz but only if you compile from source or use unofficial repos", video codecs in that janky era, assorted functionality now taken for granted, etc. Nothing really needs bleeding edge any more hence why I don't use arch on my desktop any more and my server computers are mostly debian.
