So I have an old laptop I want to put to work. It's dunning Debian stable and I want to use it to mine some monero. It's an old dell with 4gb ram and a celeron from windows 8 era.

Can I mine without damaging the device. Doesn't matter if it's slow or unprofitable I just want to get some without murdering my machine.

If possible I'd like to still be able to use it for normal stuff.

Your machine won't die, you can also turn it down to less cores if you want, just via the command line tool you use to start it.

Try it, for fun. See how it goes, you'll learn something and gain experience :)
