Master Replicas took over the Eaglemoss stock and they have an XL E for $72.

Take a look at Minifree Ltd. For less than USD $500, you can get a decent ThinkPad with Libreboot and your choice of Linux distro (KDE Debian is installed by default).

You could always hop over to https://frame.work and pick up a refurbished Intel mainboard plus an enclosure (or 3D print your own using their plans). You'd just need to get some RAM and a small SSD to run an OS like TrueNAS and you'd be good to go for probably under USD $600.

What frustrates the hell out of me is that these warning flags are being raised in opinion sections and not in main articles in news outlets. It also frustrates me that local news outlets, where a vast majority of people throughout America still get their news, has not been covering this at all.

If you switch that drop down that says "Korea" to "All regions", do you get results? I confirmed that if I switch that to Korea it filters out results.

I got my Framework 13 in February 2022 and I love it. I'll end up getting the AMD mainboard when it becomes more widely available, then take my old mainboard and RAM, put them in an enclosure, and make that my new NAS. Then my current NAS, which is just a Raspberry Pi, I'll turn that into a PiHole.

Fedora does the same thing where you can choose between RPM or Flatpak. The only flatpak package I've ever had problems with was OnlyOffice, and the issue was that the scaling was blown way out of proportions. Switching to the RPM version resolved that.

Is that... Trioculous from the Vader's Glove young adult book? Palpatine's bizarre cloned son who's obsessed with finding's Vader's glove so he can shoot Force lightning or something?

You literally can't go wrong with a Brother b&w laser printer.
