Well if you like the form factor there are cheap options that have some documentation online. I was able to find the Acer C720 on ebay as well so it isn't that old of a system.

I record all my songs from the radio onto a tapes and then use a bluetooth transmitter to stream them from my Walkman to my car stereo, completely DRM free. You can literally do the same thing as a Zune on a Walkman, but most people lack the intelligence to take the time to learn how to untangle their tapes with a pencil when the 40 year old head in their Walkman eats them.
Another point to bring up... I dont see how sperging about the multiple Linux distros and VMs and emulation software all to make it work or look "just like Windows!" is a legitimate argument. Its like the New Cokedebacle from the 1980s all over again. If your product is so good and far and above beyond everything else, you shouldn't be trying to emulate a competing product, your product should stand on it's own.
lol calm down
The popular Windows user-friendly distros don't try to emulate Windows, they try to provide a familiar interface and design that makes it easier for someone only familiar with Windows to make the switch.Another point to bring up...

I think the gist is that Linux distros want what Microsoft has and Microsoft wants what Apple has.
Yes it was stated by MicroShaft several times. Considering how poorly Azure has performed financially in the past couple of quarters I wouldn't be surprised if MicroShaft resurrected the subscription idea either too

I don't think so, I think some of them just want to make Linux more accessible to non-techies.
Officially it's security:
But there have been rumors that pressure was put on Microsoft to cut off support for old PCs to spur hardware sales for the lagging Laptop and Desktop markets. PC sales have dropped by a good third over the last decade thanks a combination of a migration to mobile phone and the fact that there has been a lack of any kind of technological paradigm shift that would require most users to upgrade their PCs for some time. A decent laptop from 2012 running Windows 10 is still perfectly functional and usable for most applications today. Windows 11 kind of puts a stop to that.
Right, so they can usurp Microsoft's share of the desktop OS market. They want to be the default, open option that Windows is now and Microsoft wants Windows to be the boutique, walled-garden that Apple's products are.
smartphones don't count
The best Linux distribution, Chrome OS, only has about 3% market share, with other Linux distributions making up perhaps another 3%. Not even close to say Mac OS X.
I have very different stats from you. Plus "It doesn't count!" only seems to apply when people accurately point out that Linux isn't some obscure topic.
Chomebooks at 10.8% and other Linux distros not even listed isn't the win you think it is.
If my argument makes me look stupid, it's actually Nvidia and Adobe's fault somehow.
"This stat which I didn't refute in anyway shows that Linux is 10% of the market. But it just doesn't count. Because it just doesn't OK"
It's self refuting. My point is evident to all neurotypical and semi-neurotypical kiwis.
As much as I hate flatpak, use bottles. There's even an aur repo for the fucking thing.
I find the arch stuff to be fairly fine. I've had a fairly consistent & good experience with arch based distros vs whatever the fuck ubuntu likes to do. I still miss antergos.
