The last dual boot I did was a Dell box that came with Windows 7. I put 
openSUSE on it, probably 12.1.  I very seldom booted into 7. It made it up 
to 13.2. At the time there were reports that trying to upgrade to Leap 42 
didn't go well so I ran 13.2 well past its EOL.

I'm not sure it has UEFI. The only problem I had was openSUSE created a 
btrfs /boot by default and GRUB didn't handle that well.

Yes, that's why I said "on modern computers". By that I mean mostly
laptop and computers sold as is. I don't mean computers assemble by the
end user. When someone comes with a very old computer, to old to run
Windows on it anymore, it's a piece of cake to install Linux on it. But
with recent computers, it can be really tricky. Mostly depending on the
brands. With a thinkpad, it's easy, with most of what's sold in big
sellers stores, not so much.

But that is the exact opposite.

	Well is 2019 a new computer?  I go mine refurbished from Walmart of all
places and it looked brand new when I bought it.  I have had no problems
with older Dell laptops installing and running Linux. I liked the 
Latitudes but
while I have a fine one with a 14 inch display my old eyes said to try a 17"
display and get some more cores while I was at it.
	Mine is still as it came from the shop with only 16 GB of RAM and
a 512 GB SSD... I have another 16 GB and a Terabyte SSD to add but
since i broke my ankle I find myself nervousabout setting up my workspace.

From what I see, it's a little bit before computers stated to provide a
more and more difficult way to remove Windows.

> I go mine refurbished from Walmart 

I don't know Walmart. I heard about it, of course, but it's not enough
for me to have an idea about its political vision. I don't know if they
try to help Linux on computers or not.

From what I see, I'd say Dell is not the worst. HP is far worse. For lay
people, I mean. For companies, HP provide a completely different sort of
computers which is more friendly with Linux.

Its political vision is making money. Known in some circles as ChinaMart 
it does its part in keeping the American consumers relatively happy by 
offering inexpensive goods of uncertain quality. It's my local store of 
last resort if I can't find an item before I order it from Amazon. It 
tends to drive out local businesses and contributed to the demise of some 
chains like Sears, KMart, and ShopKo.

It is known for expecting the government to pick up the slack to keep its 
underpaid 'associates' alive with supplemental monies and medical care. 

My nephew could give a more detailed rant. He will sit in the car rather 
than going into a Walmart when family members go there.

In other words, it's the consumer goods equivalent of Microsoft.

	Linux need no help at Walmart. I started using them for supplies
which had become difficult to acquire with stores closing in downtown
San Francisco and my mobility limitations.  When I started the old
password system was in effect and now they use emailed keys  after you
sign in sent to cell phone or computer.
	My largest purchse from Walmart was the Dell Precision 7340 which
is a portable, laptop form-factor, but a workstation from 2019.  I do not
recall if it had Windows installed but it has been running Linux since
I bought it refurbished as a result of the govenment's Covid-19 stimulus.

	I have no car.  I travel by Public Transit or a friend's car once a 
week or so.
I gave up driving a car for financial reasons and public safety in my 
70s over 10 years
ago. I only approach Walmat digitally.  If Amazon would only treat its 
emplyees
with more respect or allow them to unionize I might use it again as I 
did when
I was unaware of how oppressive they are to the employees.

Amazon is sort of the business I love to hate... Over the past 30 years 
we've gotten more big box stores. Prior to that if you wanted anything out 
of the ordinary you drove to Spokane. Even with them the selection is 
limited in a small (100,000+) market. RatShack wasn't much but not there 
is no source for electronics. I prefer New Balance shoes in non-garish 
colors and I've sometimes failed to find any in my size. Hello Amazon!

The best example is when I bought a Toyota Yaris in 2007. It was a new 
model and didn't have a radio. I went to the leading sound people in town. 
They didn't have a dash kit and had to order it. Days passed and when the 
shipment came in from their supplier, no dash kit. They tried another 
supplier. Most days passed and again no kit. They said they could possibly 
modify one.

I got the Metra number from the Yaris forum, ordered the kit, a radio, and 
the harness adapter from Amazon and it was on my deck in two days. I 
installed it in an hour.

Even more ridiculous during covid cat food was in short supply in the 
local stores. I ordered a case of 40 cans of Purina from Amazon with again 
the same fast delivery. I put it on a subscription so the cats are happy 
to see an Amazon truck roll up.

Back around 2000 when Amazon was mostly books and CDs I had very mixed 
success, particularly with the CDs. They often advertised items the didn't 
have and couldn't get so weeks would pass before they canceled the order. 
At that time I mostly used B&N. Amazon has come a long way particularly 
considering the many online schemes that failed after dotcom.

Walmart is another success but I rarely go there because of the quality of 
a lot of their stuff. I used to wear Herman Survivors boots. The company 
went through several hands and Walmart finally bought the trademark. 
They're now cheap Chinese crap. Other name brands have special Walmart 
SKUs that are made to a price.

A few tears ago and even later I have patronized Amazon for computer 
hardware
and all region DVD players when my ambitions around watching anime seemed
important.  If I can buy something locally I now used mail order btu 
willing tgo
pay a bit more for long trusted suppliers. So I know all about how good 
Amazon
is to its clients. Then I learned about the problems the work force at 
Amazon
are dealing with.

I really resent them taking over the Whole Foods chain though because I
really enjoyed some of the items which Amazon cannot find apparently

My last trip was for a pack of pocket t-shirts. For whatever reason Target 
doesn't carry them. I checked on the web site and it said they were in 
aisle D9. I've done that for Home Depot and it usually works out well. The 
Walmart megastore isn't pick on alphabetical or numerical ordering so I 
was back to wandering around until I found them.

Sadly I couldn't think of any place other than Target or Walmart that 
might carry cheap Haines or Fruit of the Loom t-shirts. Plenty of Carhart 
but you can get six Haines for less than one of their shirts.

That might be deliberate.  I've noticed the local Safeway often arranges
(and periodically re-arranges) things in ways that make no sense at all -
unless the goal is to make you wander the entire store, more likely to
grab items on impulse that you never would have bought otherwise.

We no longer have Safeways. When Albertsons bought Safeway they had to 
divest themselves of the physical stores in town since there were already 
4 Albertsons locations.

Polson still has a Safeway since it was the only one in town. If I'm 
passing through I stop for old time's sake, using the loyalty card a 
cashier in Ft. Collins gave me. 

The rearrangement is bad enough but my brain works differently to whoever 
does the floor plan. Tomatoes are vegetables, right? Why do they sometimes 
get exiled to the pasta aisle? Why are Monster and Rockstar off in their 
own universe instead of with the rest of the canned sodas? Aren't protein 
bars sort of feel good candy bars? Why are Ghirardelli chocolate bars 
miles from Hershey bars?

I usually stick to the perimeter, veggies, dairy, and meat and avoid the 
endless aisles of pogey bait.

Another one! Amazing, I had some idea there was one of either
Target or KMart in the US, but never realised they had both, and
Safeway as well! Facinatingly the Australian Target and KMart (now
owned by the same company, but with KMart largely taking over)
never had a business connection to the US brands. It's not clear
how deliberate the name-stealing was. Reading up on the Australian
Safeway, it was a direct Australian branch of the US company but
sold to Woolworths in 1985, a company that Wikipedia claims did
deliberately steal its name from the US Woolworth but was another
Australian business (now the largest business in the country).
Safeway stores have now all been rebranded to Woolworths, although
not until 2007 here in the state of Victoria.

Recent news is that The Reject Shop, an Australian retail chain
that doesn't seem to have stolen any branding from overseas, was
sold to Canadian company Dollarama in March, who might rebrand
the stores under that name over here.

Now that I'm talking Australian off-topic stuff instead of US
off-topic stuff, people are probably going to start complaining. I
wonder if there's a group for discussing international retail
chains? I'm facinated.

Target survived but KMart didn't, at least in the continental US. Rumor 
has it there are three stores in the Virgin Islands that didn't get the 
memo. As KMart was going down the tubes they bought Sears. I forget which 
died locally first. Sears was an anchor store for the mall. The mall has a 
charmed life and has survived, probably because it's the only one for 
about 150 miles. My feeling was Sears was a notch above KMart for quality 
but both made mistakes. Where I grew up Montgomery Wards was stronger than 
Sears but they're long gone too.

With the mergers many of the US grocery chains are the same with different 
names. That was the problem here. The city figured a town of around 
100,000 didn't need 4 Albertsons and 2 Safeways if they were the same 
thing. 

When I was a kid Kresge's was another department store chain but it 
morphed into KMart. They had a piece of KMart Australia originally but got 
out. 

fwiw we had 3 Bi-Lo stores but they had nothing to do with Coles or the 
chain in the US southeast. afaik they were independents. 

Target US is slightly upscale from Walmart. They're trying to thread the 
needle and failing. They were all in with gay fashions which got them 
boycotted like the Budweiser Light fiasco. They dialed back with the 
prominent Gay Pride displays so now the LGBQT+ crowd is unhappy. The 
slightly upscale part is probably why they don't have much in the way of 
cheap t-shirts. I don't care one way or the other about their DEI stuff 
but they never seems to have what I'm looking for.

Target made an abortive attempt to enter Canada, usually by buying out the
now-defunct Zeller's chain.  For whatever reason, they didn't last long.

Sears (once known as Simpsons-Sears) was a major player in Canada
(remember the Sears catalogs?) when I was a child.  They folded
a few years ago.  Lots of people out of work, lots of executives
taking multi-million-dollar bonuses for running it into the ground.

In the Toronto area, at least, Sears Roebuck both had it's own stores ("Sears"),
and stores in partnership with Simpsons ("Simpson-Sears"). I have a friend who
worked in Simpson-Sears, in Yorkdale; it was housed in the basement of the
Simpsons store.

The Hudson Bay Company ("The Bay") bought Simpsons in the 1990's; presumably
Simpson-Sears died with that purchase. Eatons (the other big retail chain)
lasted until the end of the '90s.

My inlaws preferred Sears but we used the Montgomery Wards catalog for 
light reading. 

https://www.capdiz.com/landmarks/buildings/Montgomery_Wards_Building.php

The brick and mortar store was only a few miles away so you could phone in 
an order from the catalog and pick it up a few hours later. Of course you 
could also wander around the store, watch the ShopSmith demo, fondle the 
firearms, and in the spring look at the chicks and ducklings in the farm 
area.

At the time Sears was a small storefront in one of the malls where you 
went to pick up your catalog order when it arrived, not an actual retail 
presence. 

I think Sears did the same thing but for many items in the Wards catalog 
there was a ranking of good, better, and best. In my younger years I 
learned quite a bit about female undergarments from the catalog. 
Thankfully plus size models weren't a thing in the '50s.

The local Safeways still exist, but they've actually been bought out
by Sobey's.  (We just got back from a vacation in Nova Scotia, where
Sobey's stores are everywhere).
