@ChrisMayLA6 Thanks for sharing - article not to bad see also https://european-alternatives.eu/ for other #opensource ideas.

Indeed as some commentators said no alternative mentioned to Wi or Ap OS

Deleted my X account after the Nazi greeting of EM - tried BlSk but finally choose Mastodon. Switched m 8 year old Yoga laptop from Wi 11pro to Linux Mint after they released the latest update 22.3 = fun back into computing. There is so much assistance to make the switch - regret should have done it earlier..
