Solar power + battery? Or hydropower? That way there won’t be, well, nuclear waste at the end? You know, the kind of waste that’s highly radioactive? The waste that doesn’t have a plan to be safely stored away for tens of thousands of years?
You could buy a used x86 detachable laptop or a convertible laptop (just something with UEFI). They handle just like a tablet if you use a fitting distro. Something with Phosh, KDE Plasma or Gnome desktop environment. Works awesome on touchscreens.
It would be even funnier if it was a parody of OPM’s “Heaven is a Halfpipe” or Smash Mouth’s “All Star”.
I was about to say the same. Fuck them and their ad IDs.
Started with Lubuntu in 2011, then I used Bodhi for many years. 3 or 4 years ago I switched to Linux Lite. Now I use Debian and Lite for myself and my wife’s laptop is set up with Mint XFCE. Right now I’m testing out what works best with a detachable laptop that has limited hardware capabilities.
(Please recommend me a lightweight Distro with good touch integration that’s not KDE Plasma, Debian with Gnome (Debian-based Distro is okay) or PostmarketOS. Or a lightweight DE with touch gestures that also supports display scaling.)
Never before have I been so offended by something I one hundred percent agree with.

SOME models do work pretty good with PostmarketOS. Very few with all hardware features working, some with nearly all features working. Mostly classical laptop devices. Convertibles and tablets on the other hand work generally less good. Well of course there’s a gigantic shitload of devices that don’t even have a functional display and a even bigger pile that’s not even booting.
• pretty much every modern Chromebook will be able to have Linux installed over ChromeOS. You might have to open it up and remove a write-protect screw.
I did exactly that. That thing with the screw is only for older models. I did it on a somewhat newer model and I had to open it up and disconnect the battery. Newer models need a SuzyQ cable to switch from ChromeOS to Linux. All of them need to run the MrChromebox script after disabling write protection. Well, except ARM Chromebooks. They are not compatible with the script. For some of these devices PostmarketOS is the way to go.

Germany opened a new battery storage just this week. It has so much capacity that it can power a city like Leipzig over a night completely. And there are plans to upgrade it from 500 megawatthours to 800 megawatthours before 2026 ends. That’s not just remote cabin scale to me.
Okay, here i gotta agree with you.
“Issues”. Yeah. The deadly waste nuclear plants produce is just a minor “issue”. And I’m not even talking about safety in general (Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three Mile Island).
