I just opened up my old discontinued Toshiba Satellite (customized matte screen panel), changed the thermal paste, and reattached the temperature sensor. Ordered a new battery, and ordered 16 GB of RAM to max out and replace the old 8 GB.

What OS should I install on it?
And what would you suggest doing on it (other than browsing Heyuri, of course)?
