Thank you, will check the suggestions. The x86 hardware finds very little support in the mainstream GNU/Linux distros now a days. Everything has gone AMD64 only now.

After trying OpenBSD with CWM, I find it suits my workflow perfectly. Have setup a set of keyboard shortcuts, which eliminates much of the fiddly hunt-click-and-wait-guessing while using the mouse on this hardware, mainly while waiting for Chrome and Libre Office to complete the launch process to startup these apps.

Ah, it can accept a GNU/Linux install. It came with Windows 2000. There is something funky with the cooling. The 32-bit x86 hardware gets overheated and shuts down. OpenBSD has been rock steady on this.

You really have no clue, do you ?

- Weapons cost money, Russian weapons are much cheaper than any other.
- Next best is to ramp up domestic production.
- (Non-Russian source) == (Westers countries). These countries are not in it to safeguard Indian borders. Most likely scenario would be right in the middle of transition, leave India high and dry when both the northers and western borders are hot. Like Europe advise, "Wy don't you trade more?"

Get a life. You should either read up or stick to your competencies.

FWIW. One of my ancient hardware (a circa 2004 Intel 32 bit laptop with 2 GB RAM) refuses to run anything but OpenBSD, which it runs flawlessly even now. Guess what, even Chromium runs on that hardware :-)

That is just nomenclature.

The place value of the digits do not change. For example: 5,60,000 (5.6 Lakhs) == 560,000 (560 Thousand). Choose your naming convention, as per what you can parse.

Not sure if you noticed this, this China / CCP we are talking about. You really need to check your assumptions.

Evidently, you, single-handedly, are more knowledgeable than a large number of organisations that focus exclusively on activities of the Chinese state actors and their coercive diplomacy.

This is typical of the CPC / PLA. What they say never has any correlation with what they do. Talk peace and act war with all the neighbours. Not just that, they would actually accuse the neighbour of doing the very act that they are doing.

So here, they steal technology, IP, know how, and god knows what else and then get all red in the eye when they are at the receiving end of the stick.

Nope, able to access DuckDuckGo on Airtel. No issues.

.. cellphone worked but car's network did not. No way that could happen. That thing is a car not just a computing device.

It is a fact, India is a country with a large and extremely diverse population, the scale of operations are different. There are people of all shades in this country too. Given the right carrot, many would like to possess an Apple device. The ones who do not mind the current price and service levels already possess an apple device right now. The challenge for Apple now would be to gain the mind share of the ones who are more value conscious besides trying to get the Enterprises holding back as the Enterprise Support from Apple is not available in the country, which raises costs for these Enterprises.

Well ... welcome to the real world.
