I remember some PCs had an option in BIOS to turn on at specific time

I’d rather say that it’s “learning from history of similar services”. Facebook also seemed nice in the beginning.

I do - because shipping with Windows means that I pay for a Windows license when buying the product.

Unpopular opinion: non-pro can handle the OS just fine and then some. Try out SailfishOS (unfortunately not OSS) - it’s as smooth as butter. Or UBPorts - it works great (unfortunately both Sailfish and UBPorts aren’t as polished when it comes to actual hardware support on PinePhone, but they show nicely what could be done). I don’t think I even need to mention Sxmo, which is no surprise that it works great, but its approach is definitely not for everyone.

It’s just Gnome/Plasma that are mainly developed for “big” computers and are pretty wasteful. But the situation is definitely improving.

for those out of the loop
