I bought a 5 year old Lenovo x13 and installed Debian on it, haven’t used linux in years but wanted to play around.

Installed, logged in for the first time and got the ‘welcome to KDE’ screen, dismissed it and then… nothing.

Every time I log in… nothing.

It just sits there waiting for me to do something. It doesn’t tell me to do anything. I’ve been mostly using it to play Civ2.

All of my Windows and Mac computers also do nothing when I log in so I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here.

All my windows and mac computers periodically spring some bullshit like ‘log in to onedrive and back up your photos!’ or ‘Try the new Safari!’ they’re never truly quiet, and still. They’re noisy.

They want me to do something that serves their purpose and not mine.
