I just installed Linux on my old 2500k @ 4.5GHz system a few days ago! I haven’t actually done much with it yet because I also upgraded the OS on a newer system that is taking over server responsibilities. But you are correct on the year with 2011. I built mine to coincide with the original release of Skyrim.

The install went quickly (Linux Mint, so as expected) and the resulting system is snappy yet full featured. It’s ready for another decade of use. Maybe it will be a starter desktop to start teaching my second grader with it. (Educational stuff as well as trying a mouse for games compared with a controller)

I got screwed over with the motherboard, as it had to go back because of bimetallic contracts in the SATA ports that could wear out and stop it working so there was a big recall of all the boards... Was an amazing system though and if I hadn't seen the computer I'm currently running for an absolute steal, I'd probably still be running it with a 3060 as a pretty potent machine still.

Of course, then I'd never have the experience of just HOW FAST NVME IS! :⁠-⁠D
