Found longboard in the trash, worth trying to ride or just sell it?

P.S. sorry for posting this here even though it is a longboard, not specifically a skateboard. I didn't know where else I would be able to ask a question like this

Just like title says, I found this longboard in my apartments trash and decided to take it. After some searching online (and based on the branding), the board appears to be a USC Lost Kampus Kruiser, but that's all I am able to find.

Honestly, I have no experience in skateboarding/longboarding, but figured that this might allow me to start to get into the sport. However, would this be a good board to start off with, or should I sell it and just get a brand new board? The bearings seem fine, but that's based on me rolling around on it for only a couple of feet around my apartment.

Thanks for any help!

Got this Chromebook for $35 in Goodwill and I'm surprisingly pleased with it!

For context, I already loaded Lubuntu on an HP Chromebook g5 11 a couple years ago by MrChromebox's firmware (which is amazing!), but that laptop was too underpowered to even browse on the web. So I got this laptop for the fun of it and as a third system for me to use (in addition to the HP chromebook and my own desktop PC). Although it's a decade old, it still kicks for browsing and directly installing Linux apps. It's even good for light 2D indie games too.

Only thing is that it's massive (Reeces christmas tree for scale in third photo), but I don't mind that at all. Additionally, the audio aux on this specific chromebook doesn't work and it's listed on MrChromebox's website, but using Bluetooth headphones works perfectly fine.
