This is why I keep my old-as-hell Shuttle PC in the closet... I boot it off a live CD so I don't accidentally dd my actual desktop's OS into oblivion, again.

Alberta. Canada's Texas. Sheesh.
I volunteer at the public library. Almost all the people who come in are phones only, and totally lost on a PC. They come in to fill out gov't PDFs that won't open on their phones and to print stuff out. My classmates, in the IT program (!) have a lot of trouble navigating on their laptops, and only a couple of us have desktops at all.
This is what makes me so sad. I have a friend, got married, had a kid, looked at the world and said, "This has to change." He bought solar. Bought a Tesla. Started growing food in his back yard. Joined a farm co-op. Did all the right things. Frankly, I admire his willingness to actually be the change he wanted in the world. Then, the owner of the car company turned into a Nazi. Not exactly his fault. Some Tesla drivers need hugs.
I used to be a dry texter, but now I intersperse gifs of waterfalls, oceans, lakes or rivers every three or four messages. It took effort, but nobody accuses me of being dry anymore! (Also, I moisturize in the winter.)
I run each of them separately in containers!
I really like running proxmox and then containers for my apps, proxmox being basically Debian already.
I tried a couple of years ago, but it kept crashing after a day or two. Not sure if I set it up wrong or something? Currently running searx-ng, which I quite like.
I have a boox Poke 3, again, not quite the same. My workaround for the settings thing: install Lawn chair app. It's an alternative launcher, and for some reason, it lets me access all the normal android settings. I have modified my DNS settings on it, and connected to VPN that way. Might work on the Palma.
That's it, I'm going to go find my Mandrake Floppies...

I ask myself that on a regular basis.
