innocence If you check the little box in the settings the machine with totally opaque and secret software running on it that you don't control will definitely respect that little check box and stop spying on you

Politely asking the spying-on-you-box to not spy on you

The Libreoffice UI is basically the same as the MS Office UI used to be before Microsoft fucked it up in 2013.

Have you considered not profiting off AI slop?

Oh, I thought you were talking about the physical keyboard button, apparently the software copilot button appeared around May 2023, about seven months earlier

when I was 13 or 14 because I saw the Windows 11 copilot button

chomsky-yes-honey That button was announced January 2024.

I think the first Linux I installed was probably Ubuntu somewhere around 5.04-6.06, I would have been about 15 at the time.

PopOS should be able to do this since System76 makes it partly to be preinstalled on computers they sell at retail. According to some anonymous poster on reddit, it will prompt for a new user creation on the next boot after deleting the user account.

Those cheap emulator handhelds run linux out of the box with built in screens, batteries, and controller inputs

Ubuntu, circa 2005ish I think. Played with all the *buntu derivatives back then, went back to windows for a while, then tried Manjaro, found it frustratingly unstable, and now I use PopOS.

Xournal++ is good for taking notes with a stylus and annotating PDFs, I've used it for years.

I run PopOS on my Lenovo Flex, it supports the stylus and all other hardware out of the box. The only tweak I had to do was in firefox's about:config to make it treat touch inputs differently than mouse inputs.
