Yeah, but they do keep improving it despite the chaos. So I keep watching it hoping it gets fully usable.

Well, Void is an oddity. I cannot install to a eMMC drive. Tried twice, and completely unable to install to it. It sees it, it can format it, but it won't boot. So Void still a great idea that lacks execution. Probably going to go with Arch (ala arcolinuxB) w/ LXQT.

I liked the 7040, that was the last version of desktops we bought in bulk at work.

Looks like somebody in my complex has a 7020 I may be able to get cheap.

AT some point if you were interested, I could probably get you a bunch of SFF 9020's if you didn't mind not having hard drives in them (we've pulled the drives). i7-4770's w/ 16 GB ram. Some AMD graphics card (not sure which).

I'll see if I can weigh one and find boxes they'd fit in. If the shipping is worth the price, then I could probably get you a few as soon as I have time. Literally we have like 15 setting in our storage room just waiting to be retired.
