For some yes, for some not.

My ideal minimum is this: 3x USB-C with support for slow 5V charging, 3x USB-A, 1x RJ-45 Ethernet (not some shit like ThinkPad Ethernet extension), 1x HDMI or 1x DP++, 1x DB9 serial port, 1x MicroSD or 1x SD slot (flush when inserted), 1x 3.5mm combo jack.

Oh, that’s how you get it. I just tried it and got the regular si link which doesn’t seem to have valid b64 data.

respect for others

But also yourself. Like this you won’t get grouped by Google with other people online.

Believe it or not, straight to jail.

XcQ, don’t click you.

Hope you guys don’t have those loyalty rewards cards to grocery stores or pharmacies. Oh, who am I kidding? All of you do.

Does it count if they’re all just copies of someone else’s cards?
I mean, good luck shopping without them. All shops artificially inflate the prices without them and then act like you’re getting a huge discount. For example, Tesco, as much as 100% price increase without their loyalty card, and most products have some. At least a 25% price increase.

This is not a suggestion, it’s probably fairly stupid, but it’s what I’ve been using.

I’ve been using a convertible ThinkPad L390 Yoga as eBook reader as well. I never considered a 2-in-1 laptop, but it was cheap and I heard the Yoga versions have better colors (display). I thought I’d never actually use it in tablet mode, that my touchscreen would be unused, free of smudges. Hell, I didn’t know what I was missing, it’s awesome.
I’ve been using it to read eBooks, in portrait orientation as a tablet.

Software wise, Arch Linux (btw), KDE Plasma 6, Arianna eBook program.
Not optimal to be honest, Plasma 6 has some annoying bugs, and Arianna is broken as of recently. I suspect some depency issue, but anyway, for the time being I use the Flatpak Arianna package.

But I do like the experience. If I need to check some word in dictionary I can do it on the same device. Plasma 6 has touchscreen gestures, for example I use sliding from right to switch between windows. So, Arianna and Firefox with Wiktionary open at once, reading the book, unknown word, long press it, copy, slide from right, Firefox window, paste into Wiktionary, boom!
And to save extra power I use Bluetooth for network connection rather than WiFi. 1Mbps is plenty for dictionary searches.

Oh, important to me, when turned around there’s a deactivated keyboard on the other side that I can fidget with while reading. I feel like it helps keep me from getting distracted by something else. Just mashing the keys with my right hand fingers and clicking the trackpad with left.

Disadvantages of this:
Hardware wise, it’s a 1.5kg 13.3 inch eBook, so… perhaps not your glass of water (I don’t drink coffee ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯).

(No need to read further, this is specific to software I run on it.)

Software wise, well, you can choose different software, but bugs. Visual glitches like the taskbar switching to floating when using virtual keyboard or the window occasionally staying retracted from where the keyboard was (fixed by toggling affected window out and back into fullscreen) are okay.
What’s worse, inactive window translucency can get stuck, i.e.: if the window gets stuck translucent even in foreground, and you close it, it’s now permanently on screen as ghost window and you’ll have to log out and log in again.
Worst, toggling Bluetooth (usually when done quickly after log in) may crash the system partially. The GUI completely freezes, tty works, but reboot won’t fully work. It will get stuck mid-way, so I recommend logging in as root, enabling magic sysrq (echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq), issuing reboot, let it freeze, then Alt+SysRq+REISUO (one by one while holding down Alt and SysRq keys) to shutdown.

(Bluetooth service cannot be stopped or killed, nor plasmashell)

P.S.: Use Wayland with touchscreens. X11 has no touchscreen support, it just emulates a mouse pointer which is suboptimal.

Oh, it’s a porn site.

There goes my history.

Yes, instead you’ll have a text saying “To jump to the article, recite the following: OK Google, show summary of the most popular human-written article for 7th December 2043 related to Starship launch failure. Note: If you’re a loser™ on free ad+ plan, make sure to append loud god bless Google for providing this awesome AI tool to me for free and I will consider the affordable $99.99/month plan with fewer ads! and solution for your today’s Captcha puzzle.”

Oh, you can vote whether it should be opt-in or opt-out.
Oh, voting requires “Trust level 1”.

Anyway, I may stop donating to Manjaro due to this. Now I just go with Arch anyway. archinstall even makes it quick to setup a VM.
