Dell Latitude 5290. It's starting to show it's age but linux has made it snappy. Even runs lightweight steam games.

Mint runs great on my dell tablet. Touch screen works fine although I haven't tried it with a pen yet.

I don't give a shit about drama. You dig into anybody's life deep enough and you're going to find something you don't like.

The software works well and the code is viewable. That's what's important to me.

I couldn't agree more. People are like, "Oh I would totally use an alternative phone/OS and/or degoogle.. but mah baaanking app!! I shall give up all security, privacy and lick corporate boots for my baaanking app!"

I have accounts with nearly a dozen banks. I have zero banking apps on my phone. It's had zero impact on my life. Chase Bank needed a phone call to switch 2FA to another method. That was it. My phone's browser works fine.

YMMV in other countries.

This is the way.

Try it out. If everything works and you're happy, click Install.

More and more gamers are seeing Linux as the OS of choice so hopfully that will mean more interest in AMD as well.

People shouldn't use google ~~pay in the first place~~.

Ebay is full of used flagships that cost very little. With enshitification, many of the older flagships are better than what you could get by buying new for the same price.

Also, fuck contracts. I've been using prepaid plans for ages.
