I am in school, and make heavy use of Teams and Office, and do just fine in Linux! 365 on the web, Libre Office, and Teams in a Flatpak. My instructors can't wrap their heads around it. I'm the only one in my program! (IT, no less.)
Commenting to register my interest.
I will confess that I was tempted to throw some snarky comment about Linux, but I got over the urge.
Non-Play Store Tablet. Bought the app, still get the ads... Pi hole for the win!
Concussions. People get knocked out by a blow to the head or neck? They stay knocked out for an hour or so? They wake up okay?
I slipped on ice and cracked the side of my skull into the corner of a dumpster. I was out for...? It was the dead of winter. In Canada. -30. I couldn't have been out more than a minute or two.
I was all kinds of messed up for months. I couldn't control my arms right. My emotions went haywire. I had blinding headaches for weeks.
I still have nasty chronic headaches and memory loss. It happened more than ten years ago!
Knocked out for long enough to wake up tied up in a warehouse? Nah, you died. Buffy? Dead. James Bond? Dead. Sorry.
Wait... New answer! I'd give them to the first guy who replied to me on Lemmy! He would be very appreciative.
It is unseasonably warm in Calgary at the moment. That was last week!
I second this. I help people at the library with their computer stuff, and it gets me out of the house and makes me feel like I am contributing. Much underrated feeling.
Welcome!
This is my take: most people are decent. There are bad eggs, but generally, they got your back. If you're trying to get settled, the libraries are a good place for help. Free wifi, books, games, that sort of thing. Our local library helps with getting paperwork sorted and resumes written, so, yeah.
So glad you're coming here!
Fun fact: one of the symptoms I get of migraine is the inability to ignore smells. At all. Cat owners? Your house smells like ammonia. Cologne wearers? You still stink underneath the cloying odor. Cleaning products? Smell forever. I get to choose between smelling my own halitosis or the unbearable mint odor for hours on end.
I second the proxmox nomination! I use a fair amount of Ubuntu and Fedora, and with Proxmox, you just spin up whatever you want, whenever you want it. I currently have a machine with a few % of your machine's specs, and I'm running WordPress, jellyfin, pihole, LMDE, and a couple Ubuntu desktops (Mate and Gnome) on different VMs, all at once, like they're running on bare metal.
Monster Hunter World. 80$, 1600 hours and counting. I'll finish it one day. Yes, I know I'm playing it wrong.

Steam and Lutris work well! I can game on XFCE Mint just fine. I actually have an easier time of it than on a number of distros, thanks to the combination of flatpaks and the Ubuntu base. But, I am not "the kids".
