I'm nearing the end of re watching 'Le Bureau des Legendes' on DVD & Blu-ray.

Only series 1 on DVD has English subtitles. Then only series 2 to 5 on Blu-ray have English subtitles.

Brilliant series. Well worth your time.

"The Bureau (original title: Le Bureau des Légendes) is a French espionage thriller television series created and co-written by Éric Rochant and produced by TOP – The Oligarchs Productions and Canal+, which revolves around the lives of agents of the DGSE (General Directorate of External Security), France's principal external security service." Via Wikipedia.

Yes! Me too... I've watched series 5 but not 6. They manage the transition to a new DCC guv' pretty well. Same production values.

I am, however, waiting for time to erode the perceived value of series 6 on DVD.....

I've been re watching 'Unforgotten' on DVD, a British crime drama TV series. Beautifully paced, well written, well acted and engrossing even on the third watch.

To answer your initial question with a personal success story I can recommend a supplier in Spain called Slimbook.

https://slimbook.com/en/

I bought one of their Evo 14 models with Mint installed for a mate and everything worked straight out of the box.

I'm in the UK so delivery was very good but as expected with customs etc. Comms & service from Slimbook were excellent.

The machine is excellent and works flawlessly. Configuration on their site is a doddle. There are a few reviews of their machines around.

(I've used Linux on various machines for twenty years - currently a mini PC, an old MacBook and three HP Streams; I've installed linux for friends & customers.)

I'll either buy a Framework or Slimbook next. Hope that helps.

Yes! Sorry about that... Although there was a grey/brown/sludge colour that was worse than avocado. Real avocados though were rarer than avocado bathroom suites.
