Also the surveys after eveey call. Drives me crazy. And the weird file editor, never edit PowerPoint slides in Teams.

And the way it absolutely freaks out when the computer is in standby.

Evolution is really not bad either

The Samsung bloat is real. I have two identical Galaxy Tabs, one with Lineage and one stock, and the software on the stock one is so annoying to go back to after using the Lineage one.

And it works well enough. No one is ditching Windows

The game in the example is Bad Street Brawler which is every bit as terrible as portrayed. I have it somewhere still. Could never get past like thr second level.

Holy crap that’s Bad Street Brawler. I have this game still. It’s straight up the worst game I’ve ever played.

Worth watching for Rutger Bauer’s acting alone. That man put his all into being a hobo

That’s what I have, except networked. . Works fine. Just meant out of all the things, printers are still the hardest

I’d get a whole second machine and a KVM switch, it would save you much trouble

Nope I haven’t had trouble with drivers in a while. Printers are still probably thr worst but not bad.

It looks like proofed bread dough.

And that’s a bit of a break here. We hit 100+F regularly over the summer, and its 82 F and 85% humidity in the mornings. No AC is bad.

This hugely depends. Most places will happily split it.

The Microsoft Minecraft login thing is getting pretty insane.

I hear but have not verified that they will connect to an open network without letting you know.

Don’t forget you save lots of fuel by firing out of the solar system instead

Wine is pretty good for most things I’ve tried, except new Office (will run the old versions OK). Try O365, if Libre Office won’t cut it. You can try the installer in Wine without hurting anything. For your other stuff,I keep a Windows 8 vm around off network to run some ancient radio programming software, so maybe that is an option.

And it is not scary. A simple distro like Mint, figure out where the software repositories live, how to use thr off8xe suite, and you’re done. Life is "great*.

How did Customs let it through? It has to have DOT spec stuff in the US. I don’t know about more than 25 years old.

Where are you finding things like this? What’s parts availability like?
