Piri-piri you say?

Microwave. Strong magnets. Drills. Scrapyard shredders. Volcanoes.

Does Dokuwiki count?

Actually I think that term was coined by Windows 98 for hardware you could connect and it would Just work™ (I.e. without the need to install drivers).

It’s like a vinyl record, but fancier.

I.democratically hate all smart TVs.

So does my dumb TV. No subscriptions.

What account?

I’d mean people who don’t know linux in particular but are marginally tech-savy.
Mint has been described as “the distro your granny can use” (and some do), but it does require some knowledge to at least install it — but it’s nothing a tutorial somewhere won’t help with, it’s a low bar.

You’re probably thinking of PairDrop (which also allows extranet).

I prefer a dumb TV.

And/Or get a second-hand ThinkPad that doesn’t have soldered RAM.

Oh no…
Anyway…

That’s what companies care for, that cannot afford a full IT employee or even department.

I doubt those companies can afford paid support from the likes of Cannonical and Red Hat - their licenses are solely for other at-scale companies to write off expenses and shift blame if something hits the fan.
