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?

Used > new tech. The others are on point.
It’s not us single consumers doing a difference, and sometimes you need a little bit more flexibility these days. How do your daily needs change the equation? A more recent used PC? Business laptop? This could also point towards the Pi, if you like fiddling and experiments.
This goes slightly off-topic, sorry, but I’m throwing in shared computer resources. A tiny PC plus a community/non-profit data centre with virtual machines helping with our work load/gaming/…this could be sweet permacomputing, right?
