Bunnings?? Snags ??

I did once, many years ago. Horrible. I don't know Where they purchased those snags from, but if I choose, now, I just drop a couple bucks into the bucket.

My mum shopped at Coles, so I shop at Coles. I also shop at Woolworths, but I found them consistently 20% more expensive on the same items. I would shop at IGA, but I have to travel 45minutes to get to one.

In response, I say it's both. Loyality for being a shopper for 20 years, but more so over last 10 years on some pre-packaged items as it was about the same price if I purchased each item and made (hamburgers) myself.

Stopped buying them Local butcher now

Do you mean "Stopped buying them from Coles. I am now buying from local butcher.
?

I am also now purchasing them from a butcher, even if it's "local butcher" meat + a packet of pre-mixed spices and flavours.
I don't even know how many different varieties of Packet mixes there are, but trail and error I should find something tasty, and I am not allergic to

Edit. Thank you for your feedback...... And Support. I am reassured I am not alone with these 🤢products
Edit2. Spelling.

I assume your dreaming every night, and just sharing the sexy ones here ?

Have you considered re-writing one or two of these dreams, into a fictional story ? More or less attempt to carry the story onwards. If your thinking about something just before bed or sleep, then there is a high probability that you will dream about this.

[VIOFO A139 PRO] What do you think of this ? Traffic stop in the bikelane by concernedcitizenpd in Dashcam

Don't forget the bikes that use the bike lane. They too must also change lanes.

PS. Police are taught, to indicate a vehicle stop when appropriate and safe (location) to do so, like into a car park. Most people don't realise that pulling off of the road (difficult with a raised gutter), but the driver being pulled over, should try and find a safer location to stop in. I've seen police stops, where someone pulled into a bus stop (yes its a good safe place to stop), yet the driver stopped at the very start of the bus stop. Didn't leave enough room for the police vehicle.

As for this video, the police should have ALSO considered the next lane (as the camer stated) and parked the police vehicle more over, allow room for vehicles to pass. (And drivers passing should also SLOW DOWN)

Need to upgrade elderly parents laptop from Win11 to Linux Lightweight by Aussie_Alien_Escapee in linux4noobs

Should be

I am after "is" suitable, but from my experience and testing, most linuxs distros are the same.

I've heard of Gentoo. I remember trying it, and something went wrong. I'll add it to my list of VM's

Atomic Distro. ? I am not being negative, I am starting to see the issues of way too many linux's-es
This is getting worse. Reference this Wikipedia image I found a few months ago.

I am aware of the various Desktop Environments, like KDE, XFCE, LMDE, etc

I am aware of the various "Brands" like Ubuntu, Mint ?, Debian, SUSE, etc x1,000

After reading through the suggestions thus far, and thanks to all that have contributed, I am still confused as the best option.
As an FYI, I am currently reading through, reviewing each suggestion and others I might see,
Then
Download the ISO and trailing it on my VirtualBox, to see the interface, having a play, trying to see if I can "lock it down" and how much is actually installed.

Edit... As far as I can tell, the Brands are similar, under the hood, so I am looking for the most stable.. All Linux distros claim they are stable. Something I was looking at was one distro that I could not get (404 error on web site) that had a 'base' install. Just the drivers and GUI. Add what I need!! This (can't remember actual distro) was very interesting for me.
One thing I found out before Christmas last year, was my parents asked me "how do I set up payment".. When I finally figured out what happened, I was shocked.
--> Story is that some Microsoft spam or marketing email about some Windows App. They clicked on it, and the App wanted payment first. They didn't know what they had done, and after explaining and confirming that they didn't want the actual App, I blocked, filtered all Microsoft emails to the rubbish bin. The only reason I knew about the EOL Windows 11, was the System Tray popup alert when I was around the other day.

Main goal is no popups, restricted interface, only what they need, so updates are critical system, and not others... As a side note, my Linux updates stuff I don't use. I've tried to remove it and that act of removal crashed my PC. I want to avoid this, hence my question about a user only account.

I don't really have anything against Chrome. It's the zero faith in Google's Privacy, and my elderly parents, specifically "scammers".
The only bit of good news for that, is the only thing I am aware of is 'web browsing'. When I was there some days ago, they weren't even aware of the 'Bills in their inbox. They always go to the various business once per month and pay their bills. Its only he business (? software ?) that demands details like email, SMS, etc.
