because my processor is blacklisted even though it meets the requirements. i was too lazy to change my processor and now so much
time has passed i'll just get a new desktop computer eventually.

I've bought several Dell 7050 and 3050 machines off of eBay that the processors are one generation too old. But if I turn on TPM 2.0 in
the bios, I can install a fresh copy of Windows 11 Pro and they run
without issue. They won't update from Windows 10, but they will
accept a fresh install. May be worth buying a new SSD and giving
it a try.

i'm not that eager to run windows 11. i have not hit any roadblocks and i'm not a big gamer. i can still play newer games most of the time as well.

I prefer to use my mac than use my pc. All tech companies are evil, but I
find Apple less evil than Microsoft.

the only problem i have with microsoft is one or more founders are
pedophiles.

i dont find the company evil, i know dos people loved to talk shit about microsoft. they just wanted our money, not our information like most companies now. but i think that is changing but they still are not as bad as google and the other guys.

futhermore they did a lot to fight botnets, even taking over domains . they forced windows users to get updates, which i know rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. for the greater security safety of everyone, this was a good thing.

What about a Linux distro? I feel like that might be even less evil..

problem is its not easy. It needs to be dumbed down so a sixth grader can use it. I wanted to use linux to run my bbs, but im a slave to windows or i will need to get a os/2 licence and run EleBBS and fmail/2.

Seems to me that could be a good learning experience..? You could install Linux in a VM to play with it and learn before setting up your BBS on it.
