Linux on a Laptop shipped with Windows 11 in S-mode
I see an attractive deal on a laptop that is shipped with Windows 11 in S-mode
(link below).
I assume (I know), but am not sure that I will be able to load Linux on that
laptop -- can anyone tell me for sure?
PS: I'd also want to expand the RAM and I have to find out if I can do that.
cc'ing me would be helpful, I subscribe to the list but can't keep up with
reading it anymore -- I will try to pay attention for the next week or so for
any responses.

Writing is often meant for others to read and understand (legal documents

liberal use of whitespace (short paragraphs, separated by whitespace / blank

A picture is worth a thousand words. A video (or "audio"): not so much --
divide by 10 for each minute of video (or audio) or create a transcript and
edit it to 10% of the original. (Remember Cicero who did not have enough time
to write a short missive.)
A speaker who uses ahhs, ums, or such may have a real physical or mental
disability, or may be showing disrespect for his listeners by not properly
preparing in advance and thinking before speaking. (That speaker might have
been "trained" to do this by being interrupted often if he pauses.)
A radio (or TV) station which broadcasts speakers with high pitched voices (or
very low pitched / gravelly voices) (which older people might not be able to
hear properly) disrespects its listeners. Likewise if it broadcasts
extraneous or disturbing sounds (like gunfire or crying), or broadcasts
speakers using their native language (with or without an overdubbed
translation).
| A news broadcast or snippet thereof which ends with the correspondent's name
instead of a recap of at least some key point(s) of the story does a
disservice to its (casual) listeners.
A person who writes a sig this long probably has issues and disrespects (and
offends) a large number of readers. ;-)
