I think what changed for me was recognizing that I no longer need to go
through extraordinary efforts to make an PC last a decade anymore,
because their costs have declined so dramatically over the past 40 years.

Extraordinary efforts? I have a 12+ year-old laptop that's been a Linux
box for all of its life (after it got delivered to me).

The only extraordinary effort I took was installing an SSD.

The thing is shut down right now; Imma keeping it around for potential later
usage.

(I've got an old desktop box sitting up in the attic. Not sure I will ever
power it on again. Noisy, takes up too much room.)
