I'm running Fedora 40 on a Surface Pro 5. The problem is that you need a custom kernel for the Pro 5 and later. You can get the kernel from the Linux Surface GitHub page. Arch, Debian, Fedora, Opensuse Tumbleweed, Gentoo, and NixOS I think all have repos set up for it, so I'd recommend one of them. Fedora works for me, noting that there was a problem installing 39, so I had to install 38 and then upgrade. On 40 now, and it's absolutely stable.

This is an adhesion contract (no counteroffer or ability to negotiate terms, and it was made unilaterally) and probably will not stand up to a challenge in court. Of course, someone would actually have to sue / afford to sue. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/adhesion_contract_(contract_of_adhesion)

There's a scene in DBZ Super where Vegeta states that Saiyan men are inherently attracted to strong women which is why he and Goku are so content with their wives.

I also recall that at one point Vegeta said that he saw how fighting for family and friends made Goku stronger and he wanted to see if it worked for him, too. I can't remember where tho. But on the other hand on the Majin Buu arc, he said he just fell into the role.

Funny, in DBZ Super (as much as I saw) Vegeta was practically the good guy, fighting to protect his family and world and it was Goku who threatened everything with his selfishness and lack of care.

One solution is to support government regulation of these industries. Deregulation is the cause of much of this crap.

Swatch's Internet Beats are making more and sense every time Daylight Savings forces a timezones change. Why are we still using base 12 for time anyway?
