Not the OP, but some industrial equipment and musical instruments have floppy drives in them, and it may be cheaper and easier to keep an old desktop running than to retrofit the equipment. E.g. I have an old synthesizer I like that stores patches on floppy.
I have a few old retro computers and a usb floppy drive doesn’t cut it for Amiga and Atari floppy drives (some say it works online but I’ve tried several usb floppy drives and IME it does not).
I know there are alternatives to using a floppy to transfer to these ancient systems but for me it works okay.
Those processors were such a leap over the Athlon XP 3200+ I had before and it runs a Linux desktop perfectly fine.
