People who claim a Core 2 Duo is still useful in this day and age are on some serious cope. I just got my hands on a 2010 Macbook Pro with what I believe is the P8400, and while I refuse to run Linux on it I've given it every possible advantage I can think of: a 250GB 840 EVO, 8GB of RAM, OS X 10.9.5, and Nightly as a web browser. And even still, anything that involves... well modern web, really, makes it want to kill itself.
Thankfully I got this mainly just to have a Mavericks system around for when I want to look at a pretty UI, maybe type some shit out, or dick around on the forums. It's not at all useful as a laptop between the fact that it's a Core 2 Duo and the battery is well and thoroughly cooked so it only gets maybe an hour of life off the wall, but for what I want to do it should be just fine.

I've got a 3GHz P4HT in an OptiPlex 170L paired with integrated graphics. They're roughly on the same level of suck when it comes to modern web for me cuz at least the P4 has shit onboard graphics and only 2GB of RAM as an excuse for being bad. Well, and it's almost 20 years old.
The Core Duo and P4HT/Pentium D's chipsets' iGPUs not supporting Windows 10 very well is a huge problem for me, since handing off 3D acceleration to the already-weak CPU is rather miserable.

Same energy as anyone using Windows 7 in 2024.

Yeah using 7 as a daily is uh... mildly insane. There really isn't any reason not to be on 10 by this point unless you're rocking some shitpail that still boots off a hard drive or has a criminally low amount of RAM. And at that point it's 2024 brother, pick up some shitpail Skylake Dell or EliteDesk for like 80 bucks and join the modern era.
