Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

With your information, and realizing I still have made virtually no progress...
Ugh. This is ridiculous. I was aware Apple did shiesty stuff, but never heard of anyone else.
The difference is staggering, and I have to believe something similar has happened.
This laptop was previously my test bed for Linux itself. Old Faithful, if you know what I mean. Got me confident enough to actually use Linux. Compile stuff. Tinker. 🥰
Got me to acquire another, newer laptop for Linux. Confidence, even if only a drop.
Thank you for replying and sharing. I can't think of anything else being the issue.
