I'm really tempted to order a StarLite, and I feel like that would be the best fit for you, but understand the hesitance to be an early adopter. Maybe you can pick up a used device to tick the boxes and order one later.

Not nearly as mature, but I'd be shocked if they're not working on it. It doesn't make sense to talk about it at this time, still lots of buzz around ARM.
You can still use OneNote online or mobile.
Of course its in their best interest for you not to, that doesn't mean they can do a damn thing about it.
Are they using Azure AI?
Why wouldn't they block Piped?
Maybe they can make WoW expansions free with a subscription now, or make it all part of Xbox Game Pass?
In Seattle they are illegal to ride on sidewalks or streets signed >25MPH.
Noisy and stinky should be enough. But yeah they often seem to be driven by people who don't regard others.
Most tech people are just better than average at looking stuff up :)
I have never used Zorin, but it looks good - it's based on Ubuntu but tweaked to be more friendly to Windows/macOS users. If it's working for you, that's what counts. There's a lot of documentation around Ubuntu which should apply to your system.
"Barebones" usually just refers to a machine that is not complete, missing CPU, memory, storage, for customization. I assume you mean it's a basic/low-end configuration. Still, it seems to be a fairly recent generation of hardware. If you have a spinning disk, you'll see a huge performance increase by upgrading to an SSD. You can get a 512GB SSD for $25-35.
If you look at minimum/suggested requirements for almost any distro, I think you'll be comfortably above that. I looked up the laptop and it seems to have an AMD APU (similar to what's in a Steam Deck), optional NVMe drive, 8-16GB DDR4, WiFi 5... I'm running Ubuntu 23.04 on a 2015 laptop and it's fine, no difference at all from a current gen in Google Workspace.
It's one of the most secure ways to pay at retail. Payment card data is only shared with one party, payment methods are tokenized so retailers cannot swipe your payment information and use it again. I've had a couple of cards stolen by retailers like a coffee shop, that I had to close. It was a hassle. Also for online payments I much prefer GPay or PayPal, everything is clear, unauthorized payments are obvious and easy to fix.
