On the support side, there are enterprise distros (red hat) but the community support honestly is top notch. I know windows has support but I’ve never really needed it day-to-day or had a situation where having access to support on Linux really would have been helpful.

Development side - I find Linux outpaces windows for what I do, plus a number of tools are just built in. Plus Jetbrains IDEs are Java anyway and run fine there.

Browsing, i assume you mean the web? This is functionally identical.

I personally like Linux cause it’s tracker-free and more customizable. I prefer ZSH to power shell and I like that my desktop and server are running the same platform preventing strange bugs between environments.

I have this problem quite often, specifically I'll frequently decide I won't like something before I even try it, even if historically I've had enjoyment from it.

Often I just force myself to start, sometimes that's setting a line in the sand "I'm going to watch YouTube until 15:00 and then we're going to do X" other times is physically forcing myself (setting alarms, sleep timers, etc..)

I don't really have a magic bullet unfortunately beyond "Just do it" but honestly getting over the hump is 99% of the problem.

That’s just cause of acidity, I’ve made sauces in mine and it’s been fine.

Absolutely excessive but it appears they at least used it mostly correctly to emphasize key areas.

I don’t disagree but we’re talking in terms of a hobby, I have things I want to improve (chess, game dev) and things I don’t care about (baking, guitar, doodling ) the latter are honestly just time fills when my brain needs something that isn’t stressful or challenging.

oh absolutely, this is purely a thought experiment of course.

Just thinking at a high level, an infinite number of monkies should hypothetically almost instantly produce Shakespeare (or at least as quickly as they can type)

Conversely, 1 monkey would eventually produce it given infinity time.

I watched a show talking about adrenalin and injecting it into the heart, the doctor was saying how it would be the worst place to try and go first because damage but also because you'd be more likely to hit a rib or puncture a lung then actually make it through the heart.

"may see the ‘homo’ side and think it has something to do with gay sex."

Better not let him see assume, class, bass (ironically a homophone) or many other words with such scandalous suffixes lol

For me the only time is when it’s a subscription and I want to be able to cancel it easily especially for trials, since PayPal (to a degree) simplifies this

Bring your hate and downvotes. There will be 2 or 3 that understand the situation better than I, and I’m sure that will come and try to educate me.

So if you know this is the case, why would you not just do that research?

I understand the cost of living is very high, but there are numerous factors that play into that and specifically to the example of eggs the war in Ukraine wouldn't affect that supply chain in a significant way, and the aid also shouldn't impact it.

Providing aid, beyond preventing the war from being lost, potentially embolding Russia to continue advancing, is simply the right thing to do. Obviously Western nations have the privilege of being at peace, but that doesn't mean we should blindly turn our backs to the many countries who make our current situation possible through numerous imports and trade.

At the end of the day, you're entitled to be frustrated by the rising costs of living, and you're welcome to be angry about the war, but the way you worded your post feels more like willful ignorance than any real attempt to formally become educated.
