My windows did this to me while I was dual booting with Mint, re-enabled secure boot when I went back to windows to check a wiki real quick.

Stop waiting for a single (or a couple) days of the year to put effort in for enjoyment, do it every damn day.
Money is the issue with all holidays in recent times. Take the fuckin' money out of it, it should never have been involved in the first place.
I was forced to realise before covid, that my family is dysfunctional and delusional. This obviously extends to family events such as Xmas.
I lost interest many years ago in the whole theatrics of it, it's a capitalist holiday and nothing more. My family touts that "it's about the thought and the people" when in actuality it's always been about the gifts (and by extension, money spent).
With that said, covid caused a pause in a lot of said family relations, and that was the straw that broke the (camel's) back. Most of my family is now rarely in contact, and Xmas as a family event finally bit the dust.
I'm on top of the world, and there's still money in my wallet, as well as less familial bullshit.
So yeah, I'll take it as a win.
This is what I did, I've been using windows since 98.
I am now on Linux Mint full time, it had it's teething issues (also not my first distro) but all it took was some DDGing and persistence. I actively cringe when I'm forced to boot into windows for something now.
As I've said in previous comments, it's absolutely worth the effort, spend some time on different distributions, every distro is a little different. On this note, absorb as many suggestions from the Lemmings as possible, regarding Linux and FOSS they really know their shit.
Basically, tread your own path, ask for help if you need it and do it at your own pace, in your own direction. Everyone's needs are different, the distro list is as long as it is for a reason.
You really do just need to fuck around to find out (what you like).
There are examples of exactly this occuring regarding renewables, there are community funded battery/solar farms here in Aus.
If it can be done on that scale, it can definitely be scaled up, it's just a matter of willingness of the community.
Based. If you see something you dont like on the fediverse, you can ignore it (like a sane person) or filter it out (also like a sane person).
You went wrong at "convincing". Send it, hope for the best ;)
I removed and moan as much as the next bloke, but yeah that comment hit me right in the soul (assuming I have one).
Yes, by removing all internet connectivity and updates.
Yes+: Hulk smash.
