Bro, they don’t. The OS manages microphone access. If you allow it, yes, they may spy. But even then, the OS visible tells you via an icon that the microphone is used. It is the plain written truth, that we can not argue around. There has been a lot security research around this, stuff has been audited, Android is even open source, and no one has ever found even a hint of this being possible.

Echos and Google Homes are an entirely different story because they operate their microphones by design, their entire system works on always listening, and they don’t hide that.

It’s as uncreative as the track itself so I think it’s quite matching, nice

Gonna be a great race

Thought the same, although on a second thought Jellyfin would maybe use 1% of the resources of that CPU. But still, I started with Jellyfin and Audiobookshelf on my home server (it has approx. half the computing power of the XPS) and now it has expanded to Immich, LLMs, Nextcloud, and has basically replaced my whole cloud personality. It has a lot of disk space also, so actually - if you don't need the laptop - set it up as a home server and start with one project on it. I promise it'll grow fast, haha.

Lol, this is a new perspective for me. I don’t dislike macOS, but would like to have Linux 100x more. Customizable and no vendor lock in. Although higher battery usage, probably. I love the MacBook for its build quality, the touchpad and the screen. But macOS, it’s just there. I don’t mind it, as it’s rather open and UNIX based, but I’d rather have Linux.

What do you specifically like about macOS in comparison to Linux? And sorry if I sound rude, I think I do, but I mean I’m curious and have a strong opinion.

Yes! Did the same, I really like it. This is what a Windows should be like. Also, long support. I just ask myself why I didn’t switch to it earlier.

Nobara (Fedora based Distro with tweaks for gaming) is also a nice choice, but I still don’t want to fully switch to it for gaming because of Anti Cheat.

i always think it's ridiculous to just use an ISO manipulated by some third party people. at least last time when i quickly googled it, it was intransparent as hell. not only weren't i able to see the full extent of changes, but also it was published by some rando in the internet. i don't think anyone should seriously consider using it.

Tbh I think the official Ubuntu should be a good choice for that. GNOME should work pretty well with a touchscreen, at least last time I checked. Also, even on some lower spec hardware it should be fast enough.

I think that, if your tablet is actually from post-2010, your processor should definitely be capable of x64 (you specifically wrote x86). But maybe you also just used x86 as a general term for like x86-x64 CPUs.

Maybe it would help to tell us your specific CPU model and maybe RAM, just to be safe.
