Wtf? Core 2 duo was released in 2006, so your PC was made after that. Why was it originally running windows 95?! It was built 3 years after windows XP came out!
2006 is mid 2000s and my dad got his old license for 95 from another PC (we didn't had internet back then so I couldn't upgrade to xp for a while)
I have a Core 2 Duo laptop from 2007 running Void Linux too!
And another Core 2 Duo tower PC running Arch Linux.
Core 2 Duos still have some life left in them, and they're extremely cheap nowadays. I think I got the tower PC for 13€ second hand, and I've hosted countless things on it without problems.
I had a Core 2 Duo tower that shipped with Vista (and yes, I absolutely loved it). It has provided me almost 11 years of enjoyment, until the USB controller randomly stopped working meaning I couldn't use my keyboard and mouse anymore, or anything else that I plug into it.
I used Vista on it for 3 years, 7 for another 3 years, 8.1 for the 3 years after that, and 10 for the last 2 years. And if I had to guess, I probably enjoyed Vista on it the most, the experience only got slightly worse over the years until Windows 10 happened, which basically slowed it down to extreme levels. SSDs were too expensive for us at the time (still are), and I never really thought about switching to Linux at this point in time. I still have that computer, so if I manage to fix the USB problem, I might install Kubuntu on it.
