On the “U-word” from a decade, upgrading my main rig and switch it to Arch. Still use my laptop on Ubuntu tough. All with full disk encryption and stuff. Even a bulglar can’t access to my data. Half a dozen off-camera servers on the right.

      I turn it off. But yeah, telemitry is a subject. At least it’s easy to disable. But yes, I understand the “u-word ewww”. Even if I think it’s an acceptable distro for “random people”. (like grandpa’s “one use per week for email” computer)

      Framework ones ? Yeah, the last AMD version. I didn’t bought any laptop for more than a decade because the last one had GPU issues because of lack of BIOS update. (unusable on Linux or Windows after W10) So I used this laptop for server purpose (good CPU, RAM and ssd) but avoid laptops because dGPU (or overall upgrade) support wasn’t guaranteed.

    What kind of skirt (?) are you wearing? It has a lil red string hanging down from it? Looks real fancy.

        At this day in age? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your room?

        The red wire is my headphone cable. Not battery involved, it’s a simple stereo+microphone jack.

      Self made. In fact, it’s a long ankle-lenght skirt. Black cotton fabric with red wire for seams. (made with a 1930ish swewing machine) The red cable is my headset.
