I was Linux Nerd long before Google came into existence.
My Red Mi cellphone and Nokia are running Android 13.
I was Android user from Kit Kat on cheap Chinese Tablets. At one time I had assortment of10 cellphones in Ceylon for various academic activities.
Never on nefarious activities.
I do not use Kali and Tails.
In some sense I am a maverick.
Thank again, for GOOGLE Keyboard.
It is Excellent and I can type in bit of SINHALA, I know.
I am a practising Buddhist and believe in gift of knowledge as the best Gift.
Gift of Dhamma is the Best Gift of all.
By the way, this is the month of Wesak when Buddhists all over celebrate Birth of Buddha, his Enlightenment and his Passing away.
I have encountered few problems and I list them below.
I have an old ACER Laptop.
Its BIOS is Blocked by Microsoft and I cannot boot using a USB stick.
I can boot with DVD and DVDs are not available in Australia, now.
When I Press Enter Key 3 times, I got 7 numbers not 8, in the past.
When I entered that number nothing happened.
Today I get 8 numbers but that also does not work.
I know Microsoft has secretly embedded a code to snoope on my computer for which I paid for.
It does not belonged to Microsoft.
I solved this problem in 2018 by using TrueOS which has gone defunct.
Second Problem
Before coming to Australia, using a DVD I installed Endless OS.
That is my second problem.
It has installed XFS file system.
I cannot download Gparted as a SOFTWARE from Flatpak.
Hence, I cannot resize the Hard Disk and use it to dual boot with Debian.
I left all my Bootable DVDs in Ceylon and I cannot buy any Writable DVD in Australia.
Today, I did a survey to see whether I can buy one at eBay.
I can but only from Canada and USA.
These guys are selling old DVDs as brand new. I do not fall into a TRAP and dpend fifty dollars.
Postage is additional.
I do not mind payimg the Post Office and I want Post Office to survive the digital onslaught.
Third Option
Next option left fir me is to remove the Hard Didk and stick it in with my Intel NUC.
I brought two from CEYLON and then I throw the Old Laptop to the Dustbin.
I wish not give it to an unsuspecting guy.
It is criminal on this month of Wesak.
My son also has lost interested on this Laptop which I bought for him.
Fourth Option
The next option is whether GOOGLE can help me through my Gmail with 18 number password to make my computer Bootable using a USB without erasing the existing Endless OS.
All my Android Cellphone are working
I feel like INSTALLING Android 16 on this Laptop albeit without dropping to a dustbin. For that ti happen Android should be on a Bootable DVD.
It should be also available in Australia not in Canada or USA.
I do not want to buy an Air Ticket to go to CEYLON bring some DVDs.
With that money I can buy a Tuxedo Linux Computer.
Probably NOT.
I begin to HATE bulky laptops.
I can buy several Mini PCs
Photnicat2 is my choice.
