The pi computers run a version of Linux. If you like Windows better, I bought an amazingly cheap but fairly powerful low power Windows 11 computer for $150 recently which is not much more money than the pi and doesn't use that much more electricity either. You can also run that 24/7.
Want to play with sum rasberry pi sumtime too. Best with getting both bots going again!
