Seeing how reviving old PCs is a hugely important thing to use Linux for, it's really strange to me how difficult it is to find out which distros works best on old hardware!
People say many things, but it's hard to find real benchmarks. Tried Lubuntu and Zorin Core on one laptop I have here, and it was not OK. AntiX seems fast enough, but unfortunately too nerdy to give to a non-nerd.
Fun* fact in this video: the 'disposable' vapes thrown away in Britain alone contain enough lithium batteries to make 1.2 Million e-bikes.
I've been independently powering things with vape batteries that I've rescued before seeing this video. Pull out the cell, add a cheap usb charging module and you have a fully rechargeable 3.7v power source. If you need higher voltage you can put them in series and you can even get multi-cell balancing modules for next to nothing if you want to have a few in parallel for more current.
I don't trust them for anything critical, but they're great for low-budget projects as the cells are completely free. My bike lights are all powered by them (one can run a flashing bike light for a couple of weeks' use), as well as various other things that had their batteries die, or that didn't come with rechargeable batteries.
I also only charge them somewhere flameproof, though I haven't had any issues so far.

13 SHIFTcycles♻
relieve: shiftphones.com/13shiftcycles-…
Wie rethink steht relieve über allen cycles und ist ein
zentrales Ziel von SHIFT. Was wir an Wert erzeugen,
geben wir zurück, indem wir unsere Gewinne für
soziale und nachhaltige Projekte einsetzen.

Weiter geht’s mit "repair". Blog: shiftphones.com/13-shiftcycles…
Für uns steht fest: Wenn Geräte nicht reparierbar sind, liegt ein Designfehler vor. Denn noch besser als Neues zu schaffen, ist Bestehendes zu erhalten. Die Reparatur eines Gerätes soll einfach und wenn möglich auch direkt von den Nutzerinnen und Nutzern übernommen werden können.

Weiter geht’s mit "reuse". Wiederverwenden: eigentlich selbstverständlich, ziemlich einfach und auf einem Planeten mit begrenzten Ressourcen super wichtig.
