Installing a different OS isn't even remotely as hard as changing a car's transmission. These days it's closer to changing the oil, or maybe changing the oil filter at most

I'm pretty sure that's not a true statement

Let's not rehash that argument. Use what works for you and let other people use what works for them. There is no right and wrong way that works for everyone

Yeah, something like that. Maybe cash should be the chair of the council

Macbook air can't even understand

What's wrong with ubuntu? It's likely the most common Linux, and I've used it for years without any major problems

So then don't carry 500 in cash then. You only need enough cash in your wallet to cover the expenses you might encounter in a single day. And having cash on you doesn't mean you can't have cards too in case you need more money

I'm gonna go a little against what other commenters are saying here. If you like hanging out with friends and family but not in huge gatherings, then that's certainly a reasonable preference. I would suggest trying to find opportunities to spend time with people in smaller groups, and when you have to be in big groups try to take breaks being totally alone whenever you feel you're reaching your limit, not after you've passed it. Go into a room by yourself, put in foam ear plugs, and put headphones over them with music playing, dim the lights, make a calm and relaxed space for yourself to actually feel like you're alone and just chillin. After 20 minutes of that you'll have recharged your "social battery" (websearch that term if you aren't familiar with it) and then you'll be ready to socialize again for awhile.

Thanks for the clarification

Cool info to know. Actually doing anything with that info is way above what I'm prepared to do, but very cool to know that it can be done and is progressing toward everyday use

Meaning like the kernel runs on them, or you can actually have a fully standard Linux like ubuntu running on it?

Wait, Linux works on m series chips now?! I totally missed that news!

EDIT

Oh wait, i think this sounds like just a step toward making that happen. Still good news!
