My laptop I bought new in 2012 is running my Jellyfin server. And working great.

Someone else's old windows 7 laptop for mine. Works perfectly.

I put Linux on mine because Windows 7 quit working on it years ago.

It has Linux now but I don't know exactly how old it is so I call it by its original os

I’ve got 3 Thinkpad 420s (nice) - released 2011ish - that I got for free last summer. They all run Linux Mint now. One runs Jellyfin, one runs Sonarr and Radarr, one runs Jackett and Transmission. Works great!

This is an upgrade from the 2010 Dell, which was free from a friend with no working screen and missing 5 keys that I had running all of that.
