Yes I second this one. Some people can't even hard boil an egg

Math, and I mean basic math: adding, subtracting, multiplication, division. Basic understanding of fractions, basic understanding of percentages.

I'm not amazing at math but I consider this basic and with relatively regular day to day application. I'm not saying people should be able to make these operations without a calculator on the fly, I certainly couldn't in many cases. But I would expect people to know what math you need to apply to, say, calculate a 20% discount. I would expect people to know if, say, two thirds is more or less than three quarters. But no. Nope

Thank you. You describe something like what lvxferre linked (possibly while you were typing this answer) the Windows Debloat script. It looks promising.

Yes when I had dual it worked exactly as you describe, with Linux being able to read and write on Windows partition but not the other way around, which was handy. I do remember switching back and forth was a bit of a pain though, and I ended up using windows for the most part. Graphics is 80% of what I use my computer for after all.

Okay thank you I'll look into it and if I so run it I'll let you know how it goes

Lobotomized Windows? Have you got more information on that? I used to have dual boot ages ago, but my current lifestyle demands a laptop - that's non negotiable. Unfortunately Linux and some graphics/3d software on a laptop is near impossible for my level of tech savvy, (I tried) but if you can kindly point me in the right direction to remove annoying from windows I'd be very grateful.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've tried it but it still won't play

I've had a look and while it does look like a powerful set of add ons, I'm not sure it's what I'm after - the patches are for YouTube, not NewPipe. So I'd have to watch the video through YT, which is what I'm trying to avoid

Since when has this been a thing? I'm glad I haven't experienced it, but I want to know why so it stays that way

I used to be pretty neutral about ticks and leeches. Then I had the privilege of becoming their target and now both stir as much hate from me as fleas and roaches do.

Let me add. I've been attacked by a swarm of wasps and it didn't change my view of the species. No fear, no hate. So, I don't know.
