Now it is running Linux Mint and I boot it up every now and then cause it has a DVD burner and an SD card reader, which can come in handy. With linux mint it is still a pleasure to use it even in 2023. I have even replaced the battery and CMOS battery recently. I think it may still see some use on it's 20th birthday =)
