I do my daily work on a T61 from 2005. It boots devuan in < 15 seconds from power on to TDE. My mill is run by a T60 with Libreboot + TDE. I have a testsystem on a OnangePi Nano LTS. It works, just axis (opengl) is a bit laggy - the simpler GUIs work just fine. So for me LinuxCNC never has been the problem. The problem is GUIs and "modernisation". If you stay away from anything GNOME and systemd, you are fine - and probably will be for the years to come.
