Did you also consider the option to keep the computer and just replace Windows 10 by Linux there? You could have saved some money and even suspend/hibernate would work.I just want to share my experiences when I tried to replace my family’s Windows 10 desktop computer with a raspberry and Linux.
Using Pi is fine too of course, but sometimes it feels to me like people think they really need different hardware like Raspberry Pi to use Linux while typically there is nothing wrong with the hardware itself and Linux would work there just fine.
