    I know. I said standalone pc to fit the earlier commenter’s point. Desktop would have been the correct choice, but I figured the gist got across. If it was unclear to anybody, I apologize.

      No need to apologise I just wanted to clear things up for anyone reading the thread.

      You can do everything you need to do on an old laptop… you don’t need a desktop. You just need to make sure you disable any of the power saving settings so it can stay on all the time but then enable a display-off type of screen saver.

        I don’t think most people have an extra laptop sitting around their home. And they definitely aren’t gonna want to do that to their daily driver.

        I just don’t think this is feasible for the average person.
