A good place to start, if what you do for those two hours a month is just a browser and such, is a live USB with Linux mint (or something like that) and then there is no commitment until you are ready.
SSDs costing $300 for me. For some reason my current drives refuse to partition. I got an old laptop on it, but it barely works regardless of what OS is on it.
Older refurbished Thinkpads are a good and cheap way to go. They save a ton of compatibility headaches which only eat time. Linux is very economical on hardware resources. Or, just use an old pc. I work as a programmer and my main PC is 15 years old now.
What’s stopping you so far?
Time more than anything, im only on it about 2 hours once a month
