If you want to move away from Windows try Linux this a good option for you

You can have a working Raspberry Pi 5 working including buying a mouse and keyboard get wireless and monitor for around £110 or if you want a bigger harddrive or SD card with 120gb, it goes up to the total cost of around £210. I have not used Windows in like 4 years I guess after Windows 10 and saw all it's issues stopped using it. I  have three or four Pis so far including pi 2 and 3 and 4 so far. Windows is probably harder to work than Linux for installing or making improvements. Whenever Windows did updates had to spend a few hours or longer changing or it get super slow again. https://www.theengineer.info/2025/01/introduction-to-being-anonymous-online.html Don't get put off by some Linux elitist people who see themselves as superior to all non Linux people or people use different ones such as Mint or Debian among others you could install. Rasbian is  a debrian system  Cases are good way to protect plus it allows you to keep them running better since move less than no ...

Introduction to being anonymous online

  A Raspberry Pi when you buy it will have a decent anonymous build-in already you can easily add proxies if you need it or use purely TOR if you want. I would get 120GB SD card will make sense later on for why I am suggesting this one. You can have more than one operating system work on this computer such as have a Mint or Raspbian or another system from this card not hard to setup up.  https://www.theengineer.info/2024/12/mageegee-v650-wireless-keyboard-and.html You just need a keyboard and mouse connected best wireless style and plug for the Pi and monitor You can install privacy using this   A popular, open-source, and easy-to-configure proxy software. To install Squid on Raspberry Pi, you can:  Open a terminal session via SSH .https://www.beardiehq.com/ Run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade to update packages  Run sudo apt-get install squid  The Squid service should start automatically after installation. You can configure Squid by editing t...

MAGEEGEE V650 wireless keyboard and mouse combo

  Table of contents  1 introduction 2 Pros 3 Cons  Introduction Nice black main colour with most of the keys being black colour with white lettering over them. Most important keys such as Esc and enter are red coloured with white letters of them. Seond most important keys are grey coloured which is a nice feature.

Mouse looks pretty bog standard looks wise  except little bigger size wise Pros  Feels nice Big sized keys but not to big Nice colours Not to heavy  Cons Mouse moves well and sound good https://www.theengineer.info/2024/12/raspberry-pi-tips.html Amateur customer care asking silly questions Takes up more space than most keyboards meaning it has extra space at the bottom taking up space here mouse is a bit big

Raspberry Pi Tips

  Table of content  1 Laptop cases  2. Raspberry Pi operation system 3 Coding with the Pi examples 4 Gaming on the Pi Crowpi lite low quality product with very weak plastic not designed to handle ping or fall so your pi could get damaged on the transport each time you move it. You lose one of the USB spaces to connect a very low quality piece of plastic to connect plastic to the laptop or Pi parts. The horrible white colour though it looks like the cheapest colouring was used on the case giving it a horrible tacky look to it all over. Make to allow a pi 4b to connect to it all but it would not work over bad designing flaws such as very little space to move parts together and screws or legs did nothing to improve it's clear design flaws. 2 Raspberry Pi operation system To start it up all you do is connect to the internet once that is down it should start working fast and easily your first browser is Chromium basically the internet browser at a core function level without...

Thoughts on Crowpi Lite

Table of contents  Introduction into Crowpi Lite   Heading 1 Heading 2. Heading 3 Plastic                      Heading 4 packaging  Introduction into Crowpi Lit Meant to be a laptop case with keyboard build in a mouse the inbuilt mouse is to small for any adult to be able to click  unless they have child like hands  so pointless features to me . Waste one USB to start it up making you go down from four to three may not seem a issue when you first use it but all the usbs on pi have many different uses so getting one gone is not good idea overall. Meant to be able to be able to put a  Pi into it to make the Rasbperry turn into a laptop computer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TghaAByBqE Colours The white colour here looks horrible like you used the cheapest paint you could get your hands on which makes it look horrible would not be surprised if it give someone a ...

Gaming on a Pi with a mouse for game Shattered Pixel Dungon

  The style is very much 1990s style of dungeon games but with a bit of better looks here, I would guess it's like 8 bit one here maybe bit higher bit here. You will see  before the proper game a very high-quality background that does show you how much graphics the Pi can support gameplay wise. The gameplay will change all the time which is kind of cool you start of as a knight which means you have just the basic attacks but being mage gives you a lot of quality range attacks which are very good for taking down far away enemys which is very useful and a good way to not lose as much health. The level will change each time you play it which is very cool giving it a lot of good replay value for free games with the computer it's not bad by means of decent quality with a lot of replay value here. RPG style from the 1990s looks great and the monsters such as the snakes or other ones look good you will find through the gameplay a lot of items to collect which is pretty cool such as w...

Thought on Xsnow for a Raspberry Pi

  Stops your Pi  going into sleep mode or ending up shutting down and does look pretty with snow or over effects going and down notes drain the strength of the computer to much which is pretty cool. Installing it's very simple to put into the Terminal area"Xsnow" it should get installed pretty quick then when you click it in the game area it should load instant and you can change the setting if you ever feel it's draining to much strength from your CPU1 to 4 and it could be used as a distraction if you ever need it for reason .  Reminds me strongly of like the cool flash games of the past giving it a very strong 1990 style look to it all such as from the Amiga sort of time period    https://www.theengineer.info/2024/10/raspberry-pi-coding-examples.html
