I think It's on their charter that no matter how much corporate money they'll get they'll never accept any outside influence just the same. The donators are amply warned to not expect anything other than development as usual or faster.
So they were arrested under the suspicion of committing malicious communications.
If you read the relevant info about this law, you'll find it's only a little far fetched. The intent of distress causing could be held up in court. Probably they'll let it go though..
The real misconception is that breaking encryption in the big services including Signal and Telegram would stop criminals from using encryption. Unfortunately any compromised service can be used for unbreakable encrypted communication, including gmail. So the only thing this is good for is listening in on our crap..
How ancient is your arch install? Are you even on pipewire? That's what you need for stable good quality bluetooth audio, pulse is awful by comparison.
Just go with Aurora (or Bluefin), that's the way to go for tech illiterates. Most of these recommendations are 5 years out of date, like why recommend Ubuntu or Zorin, when those are almost the same as Mint.
Even in that super limited use case - you could just use a tablet for- basic keyboard and mouse interactions can be a problem.
There is the expectation that certain keybinds would work, that you could toggle natural scrolling, set a comfy cursor size, turn off acceleration and such.
2gb ram with a window manager is enough for 4-5 tabs, however if it has a single core 32 bit cpu the modern internet is borderline unusable already. The memory capacity is a non issue in that case.
Forget Wayland, the performance is inferior on ancient hardware, if it works at all. Postmarket OS is not a good idea either. Xfce likewise going to be too slow. Lxqt is borderline usable, but not great on this computer, so imo vanilla debian with Lxde and put some effort into theming, it can look modern enough and its the best option if someone wants lightweight without the ability to diy a WM based setup to their needs. And yes basic w98 like operation is possible.
When? Currently 240p youtube will produce frame drops on these. Typical javascript laden web pages can take minutes to render. I guess it largely depends on the websites you plan to visit. Phoronix will work ok.
You use ventoy to boot into a live linux iso and then run gparted to resize, though there is a chance you have to do a non persisting install of gparted first.
It's a bit of a conundrum, because if you cannot figure out how to force update the kernel on Ubuntu, then it's likely rolling release will cause you endless pain, but that's what you need for Blackwell right now. Maybe try Tumbleweed or even one of the Arch installers such as Endeavor OS.
Ironically I think if Trump could get away with banning guns, now he probably would.
