What if it were AMD/Intel but with FOSS firmware? rms uses a ThinkPad x200 with GNU Boot.

Otherwise I don’t know how mature RISC V laptops are if they even exist.

In China they have the Kaihong BotBook which runs OpenHarmony (Apache v2 license) and has an ARM processor. I don’t know if importing let alone using an open source OS more obscure than GNU+Linux is an option for you.

If money was no object I’d book a ticket to China and get me a MateBook Fold. Though whether HarmonyOS will work for me and whether GNU+Linux is supported are unknowns that make me hesitant if I ever had the money.

I hope he does whatever is best for China which in my mind is continued control.

One thing, Edge wasn’t reskinned Internet Explorer. It had a new compliant engine called EdgeHTML and not Trident.

I prefer Edge to Chrome, but if you want or need a Chromium based browser there are better options. I personally prefer Waterfox which is not Chromium based mostly for the shorter UI chrome which leaves more room for the content.

Good. I hate Sam Altman.

I pronounce Uranus as Οὐρανός

Install them in your $HOME

For example $HOME/MY_CLI_TOOLS

Add it to your $PATH

Ever since PRC stopped sharing data with Top500 we don’t know where they stand but they are definitely not standing still.

I’m glad someone forked OnlyOffice but wish they came up with a better name than EuroOffice

It is an AMD Jaguar from 2013.

I add my vote for MXLinux

I use LinuxMint and have been since 2018 or so. I have been using since 2007. Though the first time I tried using it was in 2003 but it didn’t go well for me at the time.

Use something stable and boring like LinuxMint. No issues in 7 years.

Could be that Proton is just a few Wine releases behind, or their customization and extras break a few things unintentionally.

If it is about looks, it is possible to install themes.

The US and the UK forcefully removed the people of the island to build the base.

As a first step, see if you can get by by just using FOSS software on Windows. If you can, then you will lose nothing, swapping your “app launcher” is inconsequential if the programs you use are the same.

Wine/Proton are very good when it comes to game support, so you should be alright there. You can always check protondb and winehq to confirm the support status of the game you want.

I recommend a boring and stable distro like LinuxMint. It is based on Ubuntu but even better imho.

Using GNU+Linux is not much of a challenge, I have been doing it for 20 years. I want another ReactOS challenge.
