When i was around 16, i was gifted a laptop. Mind you, this was my first pc ever. Before that i was going to internet cafes.
So being the good "hacker" i was at the time, i installed Ubuntu to be like the cool kids. Few days later the motherboard got fried in my backpack. Apparently, the laptop didn't go to sleep when i closed the lid and overheated.
As long as the US government is pushing laws that makes it easier to spy on people, it's not going to get any better.
The only hope is for other countries to (legally) force global companies to abide by local laws, just like EU did with GDPR. So user experience will vary by country of residence.

Still hurts.
