Critical tech enthusiast
I have an Asus Eee PC from 2009 running Puppy Linux (as a secondary device).
As already pointed out you will need a leightweight distro and desktop environment.
https://distrochooser.de/ (available in English) can help you find the right distro, it takes into account the age of your device, your Linux knowledge, use case and a lot more.
Edited. Thx for pointing out.
My data is my data. Period. Or at least it should be.
Abuse of position as dominant provider of search engine (incl. censorship) and mobile OS.

Similiar reasons apply to Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, PayPal, X and so on since well before Trump & Co.

Appologies for my aggressive tone. I really hate these companies / their owners and what they are doing to our society, wellbeing, and humanness. It could have turned out so much different, if not for their greed and egoism!
I thought this was an easy one, but turns out it is not.
My story is quite similiar, though I was working in theoretical ecology. Turned out that I could handle the computers we were working with and their linux distros better than anything else. I went on for another 2.5 years and then quit. I aquired he LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 certificates from the Linux Professional Institute, worked as a pure Linux sysadmin for half a year and am now working as a sysadmin for Windows in Linux in my 5.th year.
Where I live you need at least some kind of certificate (or some on the job experience) and the will and ability to learn. In my experience most companies that are working with Windows will be quite happy to hire someone who doesn’t shy away from the terminal and/or cmd.
That’s weird. At least for Linux and Android it was free, last time I checked.
It is free and open source. https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online
Download via F-Droid needs additional repository: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/downloads/fdroid/repo/?fingerprint=573258C84E149B5F4D9299E7434B2B69A8410372921D4AE586BA91EC767892CC

Following the link I get a disco version of the STD theme.
“It’s so hard to get sh*t made unless it’s a f**king Marvel comic.”
And consequently equally hard to get anything else but a Marvel movie to watch. Art monetarized to this existent just isn’t art anymore.
Don’t misunderstand me, I like some good entertainment now and then, but I prefer movies that make you think and can even change you for the better.

Though it might be lacking in terms of UX.

What commands did you use for removal and reinstall of the package?
Second Lawnchair. AFAIK it’s the only FOSS launcher that supports Graphene OS’ Private Space.
BigTech never stops to annoy me. Thanks for sharing.
The originsl article was published by the Washington Post (owned by Jeff Bezos): https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/01/21/google-ai-israel-war-hamas-attack-gaza/
Might be worth taking a look at David Zindell’s “The Ea Cycle”.
“The Realm of the Elderlings” in general I’d say.

Works like a charme across major platforms and formats.
Last time I checked versions for Android and Linux were unpaid.
