why don't i just buy a computer that does what i want

 LOL!
 Well the problem is that no computer I have ever bought 'just does what I want'.
 But I have found that the least labour intensive path to that is a cheap secondhand business computer and Linux Mint.
 

I think %'s point is that you didn't build the kernel from scratch, you installed a prebuilt disto.
Although to be fair, I spent yesterday at my Mum's and tried to scrap her old Windows 10 PC for a new windows 11 PC. I've never used a Windows 11 PC. I lost the will to live, when the log on process demanded a PIN and a Microsoft account, no way could she understand that with her dementia.
I might have moved her to Linux when she had more marbles, but difficult now.
So any slagging off of Windows is OK with me.
Mum's new DECT/GAP phone handset was irritatingly shit too, but that is a different story. Why can't they make simple android WiFi phones, like a smart phone, but with buttons instead of a touch screen.
