This was a nice read about alternative operating systems that are not Windows, Linux or MacOS. Most users could get by with an operating system and browser. That old or current hardware could get extra life.

Haiku
ReactOS
FreeDOS
Wayne OS

I've met several great people online in my life.
It's time to minimize my online time though. Everywhere I go it's a constant cycle of information that does not add any value to my personal life. It gets inserted into tech sites, the fediverse and more. I'm not surprised, humans make up this experience and it's part of life.
But I'm getting off this digital train ride. If you enjoy the constant negativity, you do you.

Yesterday I took my wife to a local coffee shop. We stopped going to the big chain stores like Starbucks. They haven't sold egg nog lattes and oat fudge bars in years and we missed having them around this time of year.
We found this great family run spot near our home, a 10 minute drive, and had the best egg nog latte and oat fudge bar.
It's unfortunate that it is so hard to find small coffee/bakery shops when Starbucks and Tim Horton's is everywhere in the suburbs.

I had some time yesterday to test out various operating systems on a free Thinkpad I recently picked up.

I’ve ordered various products including Apple from them and never signed. What you should worry about is if the courier leaves the package in an unsafe location.
