20 years, would have been better if they'd stuck with that instead of cutting it to a one year and a day, with non-custodial supervision for another year...
Usually when the USPS cops get involved The. Hammer. Fuckin. Drops.
Shame to see the sentence reduced...
No worries bud! It really makes me angry what M$ is doing here, obviously they're not alone in being a cause of our eWaste "addiction"...but this is really a situation that should be opening people's eyes. Apple is bad for it too. Their laptops have a fairly short lifecycle, and unless you want/can to put Linux on your MacBook whatever, it's no longer secure after usually about 5 years. Intentionally driving the disposable culture, buy, use briefly, replace for arguably too much, repeat.
Have her try Nobara for a week, but tell her it's hardly the only option! With how easy it is to include SLK into (almost?) any distro, I really wasn't kidding when I said the Linux Universe is your oyster! Hell, you could compile your own distro if you're a masochist!
Would all of the Google spyware be stripped out of Google’s Android distribution?
No. Or, almost certainly no. If they were forced to sell Android, my guess would be that another tech giant, that makes most of their money from data harvesting, would be most likely to buy it. Meaning any spyware would remain, and just be pointed to different servers.
Made by GloriousEggroll who also is responsible for protonGE a great derivative of the Steam Proton compatibility layer for playing windows games on Linux
Development and maintaining it is done by a single dude, so if something happens to him, that's the project done, this is not in the Pros section.
the instructions here are from building Gentoo locally using and Arch LiveISO
FOR WHEN YOU WANT TO PUT MORE EFFORT IN
These were the really easy to find options. There's absolutely going to be more that have SLK rolled in...but that's not actually necessary, as the SLK git has easy to follow instructions on rolling it into whatever distro might interest you. The whole Linux universe is your oyster.
I have a Surface Pro 4, and I run Nobara, works great, better than windows. There are some hardware things that don't 100% work on some surface devices. Here is the Supported device list and Features Matrix. Looks like the SP10 doesn't like to hibernate, and doesn't have working cameras atm.
Putin and Xi...I'm pretty sure that, if they were topped, there's enough institutional Authoritarianism that either there would be a "clean" and immediate change to someone with the next highest authority....or it would fall into civil war with just as much speed, rounds of assassinations back and forth until the power vacuum is filled by someone able to pull everyone left to heel....or the whole government falls apart....
Yeah, I'm not on base Arch. I run Garuda Arch, it's a quite polished derivative.
Things that drew me to, and kept me on Garuda:
Flavours in:
-KDE(lite & several other KDE based including a gaming flavour with options for a bunch of preconfigured programs)
-GNOME
-Cinnamon
-XFCE
-SWAY
-i3
-Hyprland
-A NixOS subsystem
-COSMIC
The forums are highly active, any issues that aren't already covered in the forum the Devs are really quick to respond to. Think the longest I waited for a Dev or mod/admin to hop into a question I posted was 45mins.
The gaming flavour's preconfigured bits work exceedingly well OOTB
If you're feeling a hankering to distro-hop, I would highly recommend Garuda.

Joplin has apps for all UNIX-likes(Mac, Win and Lin,) iOS(phone and pad variants), and Android. It can import Evernote and OneNote. It's built to E2EE notes to cloud services, currently supporting: Joplin Cloud, Nextcloud, S3, WebDAV, Dropbox, OneDrive or the local file system.
If you'd like to fully tell M$ to get fucked....I can recommend self hosting NextCloud.
Not incredibly difficult to set up, I'm fairly fluent in Linux systems....but by no means a "Wizard", and my self hosting knowledge is extremely minimal.
There's other options out there, but Joplin has all the apps....
