I use a debloated Win11 image for the situations I can’t get around it. Still much more resource intensive than Linux, but it’s something.

I use it frequently in Germany. Often times I can find stuff there I’d have to order from China. They also have nice offers and vouchers from time to time. Lot of places I would by from but would have to create an account at also have an ebay store making the process simpler. Also sold some old tech recently and got a quite some money out of it. The support in case anything goes wrong has also been really decent. I would hate to see that change…

The window in which these calculations remain relevant is rapidly closing with the development of robots and drones.

France yes, but Germany? Sadly no.
