This is simply so misleading thats its nonsense.
So you bought a new phone for $40, and it was a POS?
My kids use my old iPhone 7, which is in the same price bracket and is nothing like that. Its fast enough for Roblox, Minecraft, and certainly fast enough for a web browser.
I have an old Dell USFF that I use for server purposes, but its a Skylake (so newer than what was the original conversation), with ssd and 16Gb, and that was <£50. That can boot with systemd in under 5 seconds. It can boot to the full Gnome desktop in under 6 seconds. Firefox can start and get the Office.com site up in less than 3 seconds.
Because thats what were talking about.
