I'd argue that there is NO CPU mineable coin because you will eventually ruin your CPU mining at extreme loads and high temperatures.
But, to answer your question, i'd say go mine Monero. It's easy to configure Monero miners and price is just enough to be decently profitable. Good luck!
yeah it's not like the good old days
And regarding Monero, I'd say that you are on point. Although the profits won't be anywhere near satisfactory you could potentially make a small amount of money
