@tuomas_h after more than 30 years in a technology-focused career, as I near retirement I will be spending increasing effort to make my computer experience more like you describe. No autocomplete, no “by the way”, no training wheels, and by Zeus, no “AI”. I see much retro computing ahead.
@tuomas_h One of the big reasons I prefer Linux as my daily driver.
