That I spent years developing proficiency in my language and expanding my vocabulary to get accepted, only to be told to write simplified English in journalism school. Then they doubled down in my business classes to write for a 6th grade education and those who don’t speak natively.
Tried to persuade him. He’s an adult son, so I wouldn’t force it on him.
Grandma’s using it just fine though.
As more people learn bazzite just works, it’s going to grow. If I hadn’t rescued my son’s windows license he would have switched.
Adding this for extra absurdity: going in no one knows, no one at all, how much your fees will be. Prices are negotiated between the insurance companies and health care providers. Until they send in the billing codes, pray they get them right, get proper authorization (from insurance, not your doctor) then go through with the treatment and finally issue a bill, which gets processed by the insurance company again - at that last step then and only then do you get a surprise bill for your share of the costs. It can take months. For a stay like yours, it would be anybody’s guess.
Simple procedures planned in advance, you MIGHT get a price, but that will almost certainly miss things like incidental costs or direct fees from doctors or other practitioners who all invoice separately.
It depends on your insurance. You might hit a deductible and only owe a few thousand dollars, or you might be bankrupt.
Replying to give you an extra boost. If your courses are remote or have online exams, you may need to install spyware onto your computer. I’m re-imaging my wife’s computer this weekend because of it…
Agreed - for someone moving from Windows / Mac, the immutables and flatpak are the way to go now. It’s going to take a bit for the Ubuntu / Mint crowd to change their song. Bazzite in particular is a huge olive branch to the gamers. Even for someone who is “tinkering” learning distrobox and/or flatseal can enable most things you would ever want to tinker with on a desktop. If you are really developing something, chances are that you use containers or a VM anyway.
I have to concur on flatpaks though: they have room for improvement. More validation / trust is needed, and the options are wide open. For non-technical users, the *surety and security *isn’t necessarily on par with the app stores of Microsoft, Apple & Google - though the experience is getting there.
Using computers since before GUI was available… Sometimes I think we ought to go back to it
If you had installed bazzite those kids would worship you
Late to the party, but I’ve read that OP is going to be the sole admin. Do Not Do This. I admire what you are trying to do, but ultimately, you will have no rest, no vacation, no backup for yourself. The hardware & software aren’t the issue here - it is the human support of those services. You will put a single point of failure on yourself, and likewise your peers.
Many of the FOSS projects you mentioned have commercial services. SAAS exists for a reason. By subscribing to those services as a business, you underwrite their ability to provide the software for free to the community. It’s a win-win.
I just use SMB shares on my NAS. Why over think it?
