I recently got an Amazon Warehouse deal for a Moto G42 in decent condition for 158 Euros (incl. tax). I know this device has only 2 years official firmware support left but I put LineageOS on it and couldn’t be happier. I don’t need high end devices as long as I have a headphone jack, microsd slot and huge battery. Also my old and trusty Lenovo Thinkpad W530 from 2013 is still good enough for me with Linux. The only thing I don’t like is that I had to disable hyperthreading for security reasons cause it has a vulnerability and Lenovo won’t fix it anymore. But tbh I only notice a difference when compiling things and that doesn’t happen too often. I plan to use my devices until they’re broken beyond reparability.
