The most demanding thing the one needs to do is play Minecraft (Java), other than that just email and web browsing, it's mostly a backup laptop
The other one is for playing mp3s and streaming music

@ClancyParliament@mastodon.online @Flux@wandering.shop FWIW I use Debian Stable with all my computers, including 2010ish old hardware, and have it running Minecraft Java edition for my daughter. All of them use XFCE desktop, which is a bit lighter on resources than KDE or Gnome. For running Minecraft, I would recommend more than 8Gb of RAM, although it seems to do okay with 8.
