You're either
- far too tall for that car,
- the car is a heavily modified Peel P50,
- or you're one of those (short-sighted?) grannies that sits within licking range of the windscreen (marshmallow, with hints of orange, for the curious).

No. No-one has ever tried installing Linux on a powerful computer. All the supercomputers run Windows - the attempt at Hackintosh didn't take - and are having a tough time meeting the TPM criteria for Win11.
You will be the very first. The world is counting on you.

What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?
Firefox allowed you to define the default search and have many many engines listed. That's been a standard feature for many years.

What RSS feeds do you follow and why?
I suggest you add an RSS feed detector to your browser so that you know if the page/site you're viewing has an RSS feed.
Grab them as you go.

Asking for…umm…a friend. How long before Meta deletes your content after you request to delete your account?
"Your" content? I seem to remember that everything you post is their (meta's) content.

Thank-you very much. I knew about the shooting but didn't recognise the name.
Again, thank-you very much for your service!
I'm having difficulty deciding whether that was what the US second amendment was intended for, rather than letting their kids shoot each other in school.

Gen Z, how has your dating experience been?
Twice married Gen X here. I feel for you all. Genuinely. Had to pop-in and leave a virtual hug for you all.
None of you are commenting on the whys, which tells its own story (and I'm not asking, just noticing).
