I completely switched my behaviour. Even my Halloween costume I bought from funidelia.at, a spanish company - can recommend, was nice quality and not overpriced. My supplements I buy from ESN and Rocka Nutrition (germany companies), and on the digital side I'm super happy (since already quite a while) with my mailbox.org (also german) subscription. Wouldn't give it away any more now that I have it, it's super neat and worth every penny.

And lemmy replaced reddit for me.

Going good :)

mailbox.org is a treasure, signed up for mail but it's so much more useful than that. It's a true replacement for me of what Google and Microsoft offers additionally to mail.

I have a tuxedo computers notebook for work and it's great. They offer Intel as well as AMD. I also know about Slimbook but never owned one.

Great news, and great use of tax money.

Great news! It's much more beneficial for all involved parties. Also, as the article mentions, moving to FOSS doesn't mean you're on your own. Just like Microsoft "Partners" help with integration and smooth operation, there are similar agencies offering the same services for FOSS solutions.

Not only that, but feedback and bugfixes to FOSS software indirectly benefits others too instead of some Microsoft manager. So, good use of tax money benefiting citizens and everyone else!

Use Linux Mint Xfce or Xubuntu.

Regular Linux Mint might run OK, but you'll get more performance with a more resource cautious Desktop Environment like XFCE.

Both can be booted in live mode too to do the file backup first, and then you can proceed with the installation.

I have a similar Notebook, which I've setup with Xubuntu as my DIY Chromebook. It's not a Chromebook of any kind, but I put Vivaldi Browser on Autostart and mostly use it for browsing, works great and still runs apps fine if really needed.

I like that you as user "regedit" are installing openSUSE - I like :-D

I also noticed them being quite slow on proposed changes. I resorted to using CoMaps and Mapy.com. CoMaps directly up streams to OpenStreetMap, which is cool as it benefits everyone, and Mapy.com is cool for real-time stuff. Sorry, might be off-topic
