The issue is that while 'moore's' law was no longer doubling every 18months

'modern' software (browser and various applications). Instead if you want
to have something work on a 2012 system well.. just use software from
2012. It is still available.
I know you know, you are being polemic and cheating. 2012's SW is
unusable today.
Sure you can install Linux on that 15 year
old computer but if you have to tell the user well you can't actually use a
browser, an editor or half the things you can do on your cheapest
smart-phone.. what use is that computer?
Do yourselves a favor and try it yourselves: A 2012 mid-class system
still outperforms many todays low-end systems and many notebooks.
These systems are well suitable for many purposes!
