I recently repurposed a 2010 era Gateway computer with no WiFi. I got Debian installed on it and got it online through hardwire connection. It is running Debain 13 which is the latest release in server mode.

It replaced a 2011 MacBook pro running Ubuntu to host my website at https://www.dharwadkar.com. It is running blazing fast.

Curious to hear your thoughts

You can make a wifi bridge with a PC, even a Raspberry Pi, running IP masquerading and connecting as a wifi client. I use a Qotom mini PC with 5 NICs for this purpose and connect a whole wired network at my desk.
