Yeah... let's not.
I'm old enough to have zero fondness for old computer shit. Vintage is for those who haven't had to suffer it to do actual work.

I mostly run application fullscreen and switch between them. The only exception is when I'm comparing the content of two windows (in which case I tile horizontally or vertically) and file selection (floating).
When an application uses the entire screen without the window decorations needed in a regular window manager, a screen's limited real estate is in fact better used in a tiled window manager.
Tiled windows don't solve a problem. They're just a different workflow. I've used both for decades and neither is inherently faster or better. It's just what you prefer.
At any rate, don't knock it till you try it.
on all my machines. Once you get past the tiled window manager paradigm - if you've never used one before - you realize how fast and seamless it is, and it truly is the least common denominator in terms of memory usage.
I left Mint (which is really a Ubuntu derivative) years ago, and now i3 / Sway let I have the same unified desktop on all my machines, fast or slow, new or old, and they all feel perfectly usable.
I highly recommend spending the time to create a i3 or Sway config file. It's well worth the effort and it's a one-off.
And if you just want to try i3 or Sway on your existing distro, install it and simply change the Window manager for your user in the display manager: it lives totally independently of whatever your currently use, so it's risk-free.

But I keep all my vaping equipment - mod, drippers and all manners of accessories - from the early teens when vaping was free, unregulated and not yet killed by Big Pharma. Hell, I still have 3 gallons of 100mg nic base in blue bottles with nitrogen in storage in the freezer from that time.
I was a big vaping enthusiast for years. It's what kept me from smoking again. I've quit smoking and vaping for years, but just in case I decide to pick up vaping again - like if I'm diagnosed with cancer again, and it's terminal this time - I keep all that good stuff from a better past.

You misspelled "intrusive".
He had WiFi or 4G on the aircraft carrier? I don't think so.
And if the Strava app uploaded the logged run later when it got connectivity at port or something, by then the ship was long gone.

Nah. Nobody is dumb enough to run a cloud service on Windows.
Keep your energy to provide it to Canadians for cheaper. The US has plenty of oil and coal I've been told.
and all the disgusting corporations putting profits above people's livelihoods along with it.
That is all.
I run Debian 13 and Chromium has been available as a package for a long time.
So I'm not sure why you would want to wait for Google to release Chrome on ARM, since it's essentially Chromium with Google's nastyware added to it. Just use Chromium.
Now I definitely know I don't want a Galaxy phone as my next phone.
Big Tech will buy the latest and greatest in power generation / suppliers, and the general population will be left with the legacy power infrastructure that will keep on aging and becoming more and more obsolete, because domestic power isn't where the big money is.

You can shove your dystopian future where the sun don't shine, is what I think.
