I’ve been using tablets since the first generation (Galaxy tab), and I must say that it kind of veered to that side after a while, since getting a convertible laptop. A few years back I got a Huawei tablet with a pen and keyboard, that had impressive battery, and it took the place of my convertible. While I’m a Linux-Android-occassional Windows guy, I now use an ipad (As much as I hate to admit, in the tablet space they are vastly superior), with keyboard and pen, for most of my away needs, and for general around the house stuff. I do a lot of graphic design and photo stuff, and thanks to Affinity’s suite, I can actually do real work on the thing.

Don’t wearables cause autism?

Mine runs on me. It especially likes me wanking.

That’s one of the beauties of Linux, if you need something else than want you can probably get another distro that suits your needs. OP was asking about newbies. I set up Mint for my mom. I can guarantee that she won’t change.

My son on the other hand distro hops.

I don’t know if that is still the case, but many electronic stuff in the US had warnings, with pictures, like “don’t put it in the bath”, and the like .

People are dumb, and you should take that into account.

Remeber, If it’s “free”, you are the product.

Not just a wig, a cheapo Aliexpress wig. I had an employee who bought a quality hairpiece, and it was uncanny. He paid through the nose for it, but it was worth it for him, as he was quite bald in his 20’s.

They banned linux packages?

Oh, FLAT hub!

He didn’t invent EVs, nor batteries, nor rockets, not even vertically landing rockets, but perfected and especially turned them onto massive success. Too bad he went full idiot.

I hate the guy’s guts as much as anybody else, but he has kickstarted a space race, and an EV market. Credit where it’s due.

And yeah I know, rich daddy, no inventions, all evolutionary, etc. But here we are.

OTOH, Danone is a B corporation, so there are choices in that space.

Just Americans?

I’ve been migrating some of my clients (I do on site support for SMBs) to LTSC 2019, which gets updates until 2029. An added benefit is that it gets a lot less updates, essentially security updates, and comes with a lot less crap preinstalled.

I do SMB support, so I have a pretty good idea of what people tend to do.

I haven’t seen a PS brick catch fire (possible, OFC, but extremely rare in my opinion) i have seen a PC PSU catch fire, and because of the fan, it’s fucking scsry, like a jet with the afterburner.

Replacement is usually removing 6-10 screws and prying the case with a guitar pick or old credit card. There is most likely a disassembly video on youtube. Batteries from aliexpress or the like are usually cheap (although probably more expensive than the computer). Depending on the application, the “built-in UPS” can be nice.

I would need your password to be able to replicate, as well as your mother’s maiden name, city of birth and first pet’s name.

I thought we were going to get our share of the damages

Liknks or didn’t happen

I use zoom several times a week, and have had to revert to windows several times because development lags behind win/mac, and for some reason my org has a fixation on trying new features, useful or not.
