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.

But how are they going to make money?

Through selling durable goods that don't have planned obsolescence

... until everyone has one.

Don't you see that the "make money" is the actual problem?

“Make money” isn’t the problem. The problem is the expectation for infinite growth.
