Well, boot Win11 24H2 on a nice 13th gen i7, and you have a great
experience.  That's what Microsoft supports.  Linux is the solution
for others, but they often overlook it.

I was blown away by Finder.  Really amusing, how little effort Apple's
programmers put in.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
