Cable box, but roll your cables and tape them together before you chuk them in. Has saved the day, particularly before major trips.

Buy one that has enough space to open it up and put an apple airtag in there?

Gotta be real glass or ceramic. Hate the metallic or plastic-y taste of most. Love the bodum ones, forgot what they're called

Water. I drink it. I'm very hydrated. You're welcome.

Lenovo/Thinkpad will certify certain models for use with Linux, other brands sell Linux laptops. Those are obviously good indicators that those models should be safe to choose. More generally, the more popular a model is, and the longer it's been on the market the more likely they are to be compatible, just because they are in people's hands and people tinker with them and add stuff to the Linux Kernel. So stay away from the latest model that is uncertified, and don't choose the flashy, overpriced model that will see poor sales.

It's informative, but 1kg of beef and 1kg of coffee beans is not a meaningful comparison :D

You might be able to find a discounted ThinkPad X12 detachable with an i5. It does not officially support Linux, but most features work, except for the volume rocker. It's become my daily driver -- really won me over. The keyboard is great btw.

I have very vague recollection of it being relevant...

I thought the scripture was quite clear with that whole "Thou shalt not kill" part...

Stable as in rarely crashes, or stable as in rarely changes over the years?

The LTS versions of Ubuntu are stable in the second sense, they get ten years of support but you're stuck with old versions or (stable) programs in exchange. I also have not seen any of them experience a fatal crash, too. So stability isn't the issue, its more about what you want to do and compatible with most recent versions of software.
