Ask HN: Are there any computers on the market like 80s home computers?

I'm only 20, but I'm very attracted to the idea of a computer that a single person could reasonably understand, or at least understand far better than the bloated nightmare of Windows and MacOS. Even Linux is very big and complicated. I'm also looking for simplicity at the hardware level. A Raspberry Pi is cheap, but I would hardly call modern ARMv7 Cortex chips simple. Are there any computers on the market that try to replicate the simplicity of earlier home computers? Perhaps there's an SBC that would meet my hardware requirements, and there's a separate, simple OS I could flash?
