I not too long ago discovered an outdated pockets.dat file on an historical laptop operating Debian GNU/Linux. The file is likely to be as outdated as 2012 or 2013. These are the outputs of “lscpu” and and “lshw -short” respectively:

I would like to rescue everything from this file including all coins that might have resulted from later forks, such as Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Diamond, etc… and I would like to do that on this ancient machine. What would be the easiest, most secure and most efficient way to achieve this? Thank you very much for your help in advance. It’s highly appreciated.
