The number of comments here taking the joke seriously makes me feel like someone needs to chime in with a counter example. Myself and all my siblings were homeschooled by my very religious mother who had no professional qualifications. I ended up getting my GED and went to college for Electrical Engineering. My sister is currently in Med school (Only one of my siblings is still religious, so that part didn't take root). Most of the religious homeschoolers that I knew growing up went on to have successful professional careers as well.

While I'm sure that some homeschoolers end up failing to launch, most learn at their own pace with personalized attention and learn valuable life skills on how to manage their own time in an unstructured environment.

    There are a number of niche brands out there that still cater to us old farts. Check out Ulefone, Oukitel, Unihertz, Doogee, iiif150, etc. Each company has normal models, but they all also dabble in unusual experimental models as well, some that are ultra small, other that have blackberry style keypads, or feature projectors, floodlights, uhf radios, thermal cameras, multiple screens, etc etc.

    Most models still retain SD card slots, headphone jacks, some still have IR emitters and other older i/o as well.

    They're all Chinese companies though, funny how all the consumer tech innovation is happening in communist countries.

    Probably a good decision in the long run, their rational makes sense. Ubuntu's stubborn insistence on snap is poor decision making on their part.

    I run Tuxedo as my daily driver and look forward to the more rolling release focused strategy.
