Depending on the tablet, you might not be able to unlock the bootloader. I have a Chinese Lenovo model Y770 that’s not unlockable.
You can always remove your google account from the tablet and install Aurora Store and f-droid to keep google from tracking what you’re using. Every step in the right direction is a step away from google.
Using Open Street Maps, Mull, Brave, librewolf, various proton apps or whatever you prefer will let you get away from the built in google stuff.
I play piano, but my mentor was a guitarist. As far as I’m concerned, Johnny Smith is one of the great ones, regardless of instrument.
Yeah, he’s technically a brilliant guitarist and I respect the hell out of that. But to me, he’s just good. He kinda transcends the guitar, like most great musicians.
Awesome collection. I bet they sound great on those KEFs, too. I have the Mosaic 8 CD set from 20-odd years ago, too bad vinyl wasn’t back in the zeitgeist at that juncture.
One of my mentors used to fly up to Colorado Springs to see his son at the Air Force Base next to the airport and then go see Johnny at his music store, which I think he had since retired from running(early 90s).
I always liked the song “Black Sabbath”, track 1 on the album Black Sabbath by the band Black Sabbath
Genius of Modern Music, Vol. 1 is probably as good a starting point as anything. My personal favorites are Brilliant Corners and Monk and Coltrane at Town Hall.
If you want a cool album jacket, there are a bunch of greats, but I’d mention Underground and Monk’s Music as great albums with awesome cover art. Whatever you go with, good luck and welcome aboard!
I just realized the B side has an endless loop on the last chord! Tripped me the fuck out for about 30 seconds.
FWIW, you can install Win11 on unsupported hardware with a pretty easy registry edit to bypass the TPM check. I did it for my mom’s PC that lives 600 miles away from me, thus far with no issues.
If it has to be Linux, I’d recommend something that’s immutable and atomic on a platform you’re familiar with so as to prevent careless mistakes by technophobes.
Ubuntu Core, Fedora Silverblue, MicroOS from openSUSE are all pretty stable and have rollback if something gets borked. Unfortunately, nothing is guaranteed to ‘just work’. Good luck!
