I’m not even in tech. I teach maths at night school to support myself while doing my masters. Somehow I’ve become the ‘computer guy’ at my job. All the teachers and even office staff ask me to explain software to them that I myself have never even used. I need to learn to say no.

Tbh my uni gave me a PC with no OS on it. I wasn’t going to pay for an OS for work so I installed Ubuntu. I liked it, so I also switched on my private laptop.

TLDR: it being free, then liking it

Even if you cant be bothered to figure out gaming on Linux, a dual boot works like a charm. I do all my gaming on the windows partition to keep it separate from work, to avoid distraction.

Since it has shareholders, the only way for it to stay in business is ever-increasing growth. Profit themselves aren’t enough. It needs to grow faster and faster so that dividends keep increasing, which is the goal.

Honestly, even if you (whoever reads this) are fairly confident they’ll say no, just ask respectfully. They’re your loving, trusting partner, the very worst that can happen is that they’ll confirm your hunch and say no, then move on like nothing happened.

They can be helpful if you view them light heartedly as anonymous support groups where you can vent real quick. Not as actual qualified resources.
