Let's say, one is in need of a replacement of its PC (something went horribly wrong with it, exploded or something), would it be more "permacomputable" to replace it with a new Raspberry Pi (as a daily driver of course), or a used PC?

I don't know your computing needs but I would say that it will probably not be enough. I suggest a pc build with used pc parts, unless you require a very portable device. In that case yes, a raspberry pi 4 is a good choice or an older used device running debian like others mencioned

Computing to support life on Earth

Computing in the age of climate crisis is often wasteful and adds nothing useful to our real life communities. Here we try to find out how to change that.
