sounds like you need a dog to be your poop buddy. you guard for them when you're out on walks, they stand guard for you in the can.

some libraries include that fun little stat on your slips.
at least if it's auto-installed, you don't need to have your windows tied to a microsoft account just to set up your damn printer. there's some models where the stand-alone driver installer just doesn't work worth a shit, and the 'app' is the only thing that works (there's also a few that go the other way, the 'app' fails but the stand-alone driver is fine).
google execs: "great! now exploit the fuck out of it before they fix it so we can add that data to our own."
have several systems and vm (all x64, don't have any sbc here) running dietpi. love it.
saw https://runtipi.io/ posted elsewhere recently. which essentially results in the same thing, but is based on docker.
just spitballin' here, but maybe the easy 'fix' is to change the name of the app?
i have some clients using thunderbird. i scrambled to get prepared for the onslaught of phone calls when theirs got auto-updated to the new ui. all for naught. didn't get a single call from anyone getting 'lost'. they did a good job with the refresh.
absolutely. turnkey retail product is the answer here.
OR, a normal windows-based (so they know how to navigate it) desktop with one or more internal drives added. set up the shares, done. i'd add stablebit drive pool and maybe cloud drive to it for pooling, redundancy, and encrypted online drives to hold a copy. no weird hardware setups, no 'foreign' ui, no raid arrays to babysit....
we used to do some warranty work for hp. more often than not, the part waiting for us was the wrong one.
a 15in model with 12th gen 1215u, 8gb and 256gb ssd sold last week from multiple u.s. sources (dell direct and hp via walmart) for $250-260 this past week.
399gbp is about 500usd, totally plausible for a 'sale price' on a reasonably-spec'd (such as no discrete gpu) 17in model.
i'll let you know...
when i get one. still using a flipper. i don't "need" the internet in my pocket, and i love going weeks between charges.
you've 'spent' as much on books in five months as i have in, like, twenty years. but i don't always actually check books out. i often just go there (it's only a block away), grab a book, find a sofa to sit on, and read it.. cover-to-cover, then put it back where i found it.
