    Some more details to read, TLDR: They were in trouble already.

    Update: Details emerge on Lane's termination of all employees Furniture Today
    https://www.furnituretoday.com/financial/report-lane-shuts-down-all-employees-terminated/

    snip

    >In June of this year, the company terminated its CEO, CFO and executive vice president of sales, and named former Standard Furniture President Todd Evans as CEO. The company subsequently restructured its sales organization and named Ruff Thomas and Keith News to sales leadership roles, with Thomas named president, sales for Lane’s domestic division and News named to the role of president, sales for Lane’s import division.
    >
    >One month later, the company laid off 300 employees and closed or repurposed several facilities. This included closing its metal stamping facility in High Point; transitioning a manufacturing factory in Amory, Miss., to a warehousing-only facility; and transitioning a Winston-Salem, N.C., operation to an East Coast distribution center.

    I didn't see the Ubuntu help, I found it on a reddit thread. I agree, I found this and have been in contact with them, yes they answered the email on a Saturday!

    StarLite 11-inch – Star Labs®
    https://us.starlabs.systems/pages/starlite

    It is more than the Asus (by more than 2X) but it offers more freedom (coreboot) and 8GB ram as well as a more than 64/128GB of storage, and I really like the warranty. I can't find the link ATM but it was feel free to open and replace things, new OS's, or whatever. I'm sure they will not warranty damage caused by the user but they have manuals online on how to tear it down and replace things.

      Its fanless design ensures your StarLite will never make more than a whisper - unless you want it to. The Mk IV supports coreboot open source firmware which you can effortlessly configure to your preferences via our coreboot configurator.

    That is why I stopped using it and archived my data but am not deleting it.

    A few reasons.

    Too big as at some point I will be lugging a pair of these half way around the globe and they do not get packed, they are carry on.

    I have a lack of trust with used computers unless I know the history. My current travel computer is 6-8 years old and last travel with it was 3 years ago and the 32GB of storage and 2GB of ram is not enough. It was an up-cycle device but I also knew the history as they were retired devices from $EMPLOYER and I got another 4-5 years from it.

    I also have an extreme lack of trust with places like ebay. Many years ago I purchased a imaging unit for a laser printer that was "new". It was far from new and my old one was in better shape, but I still had to pay shipping to return it after the complaint went to arbitration as they insisted I was trying to scam them.

    The Thinkpad x240 is almost 10 years old and one of the biggest problems with old computers, esp notebooks is heat cycling over many years.

    Looking for a netbook/small notebook (10 to 11 inch display) recommendations, must be able to run Linux, preferably Tumbleweed. It will be used while traveling to check email and websites and maybe watching movies while traveling. So far I have found one that looks promising (below) but it has a known issue with the wifi but that can be fixed my swapping out the wifi card. The current ones I have are now way slow, lacking enough memory to run properly and about 6-8 years old.

    I have tried to dig into the GS code a few time (1.3 from 2019 is from my last attempt) and the thing I found really lacking is a directory(?) of this file does this.

    The extracted zip file leaves the following:
    9,449 files
    14 main folders
    14,529 sub-folders

    I also have ideas (lite version that will run on shared hosting for one) but at some point just trying to follow the code flow and after about an hour and who knows how many files open my eyes cross.
