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?

permacomputing tends to be much more about the software than the hardware.
