Thank you for saying this. I wonder which vendor is best value for money.

That is one of the things I learned. It’s hard to know what I need without knowing what I could need. Sometimes you don’t know what you use until it’s missing.

Thanks for sharing!

I’ve gotten a lot of useful advice! I wasn’t looking for a write up, but an existing guide out there. I’m happy with everything people have written.

I was also suggested purityc, framework, and system76, what is especially good about starlabs?

This is really useful. I don’t use Apple Music, but the gestures and preview do sound like something to get used to. Why is there no third party preview? Seems like a pretty basic program to have.

How do you know that hasn’t been created already?

I hear a lot of people say stuff like that “start with”. But is it so easy to switch of you picked one? Like don’t you have to get all your files in an external drive and delete a full computer before you can reinstall a different disto?

Linux is not comparable in the sense that it is not a company that is delivering a service that you paid for. So the work “that should have already be done” is done by unpaid work. We can all contribute to making it better.

Does it change your opinion that microsoft and apple are using your comfortability with using their systems to prevent competition and lock you into a system that over time keeps violating your privacy more while gives you less freedom in how you want to use it?

Its not just the demand, its also monopoly or duopoly of suppliers. These suppliers prevented competition by making sure they are the only ones allowed by students to use.

I think it’s birth cohorts
