Old hardware is usually very well supported.
Just don't recommend Linux people with Nvidia hybrid graphics, though.
Exactly the issue I had on my laptop. Plug in an external display to extend the desktop and the laptop screen turns off. Wasted 6 hours of my life trying to get the damn thing to work properly until I gave up.
Only 6 hours
I've been changing colors and and textures in my desktop for longer spans of time
And playing CK2
Still, those are at least pleasant.
I have an old Steam Machine (Asus GR6) with Optimus graphics and it worked well enough. It's been relegated to home server role for many years now but even then it wasn't so bad to set up.
