• Jeff Geerling: The Framework 12 is dead. Apple killed it [video]

  Is it feasible to run Linux on the Apple hardware? Seems like that could meet your requirements, except possibly "align with my values." I saw https://asahilinux.org/ but don't know how usable it is, or whether the long battery life and hardware support is preserved. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Microsoft gave FBI set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops

  That's literally like asking "What car has the best driving experience?". There is no one answer. If you want something that "just works," Linux Mint[1] is a great starting point. That gets you into Linux without any headache. Then, later when bored, you can branch out into the thousands[2] of Linux distributions that fill every possible niche [1] https://linuxmint.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
