Just download it and use the loop function on your media player program of choice?
I'm just upset that they took bitmap font support away from me 
Low res displays unusable now.
Can't believe Nintendo didn't make these for the switch you could have had one on each side it's so perfect.
That would be really cool!
Sway is really impressively stable if you're willing to learn it and set it up. It's a tiling WM.
I've been running the same arch install with roughly the same sway config for 3 years. My computer has never been so boring!
Atlas is my favorite version. Even LTT did a video about it. You just install a normal Windows 10 or 11 iso then run the atlas installer and it does a pretty good job making Windows minimal bullshit by replacing edge with Firefox, disabling countless anti features, and installing openshell.
If it's just for that one purpose have you considered running windows in a VM and passing though that one usb device? Gnome boxes makes that pretty easy.
I had a tiny Dell Chromebook 11 through college running arch. It had a 10/10 keyboard and a decent IPS display, paired with an efficient bitmap font it was perfect for my needs. I should grab one off eBay, it looks like they're only $40 or so now.
I usually recommend new users try out a few distros from distrowatch on a USB stick with Ventoy making sure to pick a few different desktop environments to try (XFCE, KDE Plasma, Gnome, Budgie, Cinnamon...) There are hundreds and I would argue they have as much of an impact on how your computer works and feels as your distro.
What distro you pick matters less from a user standpoint than you might think. You're going to get a lot of recommendations for Ubuntu and its derivatives Pop_OS! and Mint. They're great for beginners IMO except for one small sticking point, which is that they've been shipping most software in snap packages and flatpaks which have their own quirks to learn. It's kind of like a little container or sandbox. You hear a lot of new users saying that they're having issues with a program not being able to see a file on their computer and it's usually because the program is a snap or a flatpak.
I think they were for a number of reasons tactically "not fixing" this "bug" up to this point.
Microsoft has always been something of a free nagware business model, like WinRAR.
32GB of storage? Could I put my audiobooks on there and stream them directly to some headphones? Cause that would be sick.
