Okay so I found this old MacBook (I mean OLD, it even has a hot-swappable battery and an optical drive) and I have no idea if it’s even worth the effort of installing anything on it. What do you guys think I could do with it?

Edit: note that this is just from a live usb, it has 120GB storage

    I see a very decent media player, maybe a PiHole, or you can add some USB storage and have a nice backup server.

    Just because it won’t run a browser it doesn’t mean it should be thrown away.

      I doubt it even has H265 decoding support. I don’t see a viable media player there.

        I wrote media player but I meant media server. It could run Jellyfin and serve media to other devices on the network.
