  • When they announced when windows 10 support would end. The writing was on the wall and each update was a toss up whether it would add a useless feature.

    I knew from experience many years ago that windows would delete grub if it so much as looked at it funny. So I got an amd card and cut windows out cold turkey.

    Linux has a whole host of weird quirks and issues, just like windows. But it’s either something documented, fixable, or will be fixed in an update. I’m more excited to click update in Linux than I am with windows too.

    Few pieces of software don’t work with either wine or a windows VM as backup. But so far I’m not missing much. Missing out on some games because of anti cheat sucks though. Even though I hate anti cheat, I still love a good game of league.








  • Honestly, if this laptop is primarily for work, then you should stick to windows. Keep the workflow the same as your coworkers so issues aren’t blamed on your abnormal setup. You’re already using un-privacy work related apps like zoom either way right?

    Unless you really have the time and inclination to iron out these bugs on your work machine, then save Linux for your personal computer. It would help to get used to the environment and how stuff works rather than jumping in cold.

    Linux has come a really far way since I remember tinkering with it in high school, but it’s still “not quite there” yet. Crazy improvements are happening all the time though with community effort. Though idk if it will ever be at the point where it works out of the box for everyone.










  • Well infections are pretty serious so going to the hospital seems to be a must. Make a note of the medicines you’ve had bad reactions to and mention them to the doctor/nurse there. I know hospitals are scary, I hate them too. If you have anyone you can go with, ask them. If not, take something to give you comfort, you’ll be waiting a lot there. Unless it’s ridiculously serious, I doubt they’ll hold you overnight. Likely they’ll assess the infections the best they can, prescribe some antibiotics, and tell you to follow up with your primary doctor. Besides the emergency room, “urgent care” is also an option, but your mileage may vary how good they are. They’re like emergency room, but for less severe stuff and focus on quickly assessing you, rather than a more thorough triage that a hospital might give. Again, be sure to mention your reactions to the medicines you were given. I hope you can get the help you need.
