I don't remember exactly what lead up to it, but I ended up watching reruns of Voyager with my dad every day back when Spike TV was still a thing. I think that really improved my relationship with him.

Thank you for the correction. I try to be as accurate as possible when providing information, but I misremembered the specs.

I have a Thinkpad T480 and I'm very happy with it. I paid about $250 (~£190) for mine. It came with 16 GB RAM, but is upgradable to 32 GB. The one I bought came with a 128 GB SSD, but I swapped it out for a 1 TB drive which added another $100 (~£76) to my initial investment. This model originally came with Windows 10 and most on the market will come with it, but can be updated to 11 if desired.

I personally have not used Win11 since they made some changes I don't like, so I can't really give you advice on that aspect.

Yo dawg, I heard you like emulating, so I put an emulator in your emulator so you can emulate while you emulate.

Are you referring to a drawing tablet? If so, then a good number of ones from the better known brands are supported by the kernel by default. Your safest bet though is Wacom. Wacom is definitely the best supported brand, but it tends to be more expensive than other brands (such as XP-pen and Huion). Non-Wacom branded tablets may require a little bit more initial configuration, like adding a udev rule (I had to do that for my Huion Inspiroy Ink).

Qmmp can use them too.

In my experience larger packages (in terms of file space requirements) install slower, but download speed is a factor there too.

Cancelling compilation is safe to my knowledge. No changes were made as you stated. Just remember that the downloaded files will probably still be in your cache afterwards, so you may want to remove that with paccache.

You mention "partial installs," but the actual issue is partial upgrades. A partial upgrade is when you don't upgrade the entire system, but only one or more packages. A partial install isn't really a term people use, but could probably refer to installing a package without its dependencies being installed.
