  • Rpi uses 25watts? My old acer 6th gen laptop has a 15watt TDP and remains around 8watts 24/7 even with my services and without disconnecting the internals. My 8th gen laptop pulls 6watts with the screen on. People here saying older laptops arent a good choice are insane considering the ~$100-300 diffrence between an ewaste laptop and dedicated minipc + backup power bank (laptops have internal batterys you can easily replace when they go bad)

    If your looking for a diffrent desktop experiance the OS doesnt matter outside of if it has packages or not. You might want to try KDE plasma with custom themes if your not a fan of the way xfce works. Although xfce is also extreamly customizable in the way it works too if you take some time to read the docs
