@dekkzz76 @retrocomputing Colossus, definitely. Maybe ENIAC 😼
Fun fact: Actually had a play with the Colossus rebuild at Bletchly Park 😊
@piezoelectron For academic use, #debian12 with the default #gnome desktop. Make sure to install #flatpak, then you can grab the latest #libreoffice and #firefox. If #debian is good enough for use on the #ISS it should be fine for your friends use case.
FWIW, #debian12 is now my daily driver on two ThinkPads (X200 and X61S), everything works fine out the box 🖖
