I am an Apple lover so I'm going try and convert you.
Apple is going to introduce new hardware at the WWDC in June and has placed many Macs on sale.
Amazon has a new Mac mini (M2) on sale for $549. 10 core gpu 8core cpu 256GB of SSD storage.
Plug in your monitor, keyboard and mouse and you are set for the next 10 years.
There are Apple clubs in the villages and free apple help from villagers at the paradise rec center twice a month.
If $500 is a hard limit I'm sure that you can find used M1 minis for much less than that.
Software upgrades to the next operating system has always been free. If you have an iPhone or iPad this is a chance to use the full capability of the iPhone.
