But 8% and 13% are both below 10

In high school, I used to be frustrated by this as well. But now, I've come to appreciate being able to get a reminder for a definition or a famous result just by googling and clicking on the resulting wikipedia page. Way better than having to find and dig through a badly-scanned pdf of a paper from the 70s which presented the definition that everyone in the field now uses.

Ok, I'll bite. How can a corporation not be capitalist?

What do you mean? I remove all vendor keys and enroll my own secure boot keys. This way only my install with my bootloader signed by my keys will boot.

Not FOSS as far as I can tell. Maybe it's no concern to folks running MS stuff already, but IMO closed-source is a red flag for trustworthiness.

Not familiar with iphones, can't you just use plain wireguard?

But if you're more productive in the time you actually work, you have more time to slack off

Finite elements, of course!

Not related to the refund at all, but: Why would you turn off the monitor and not the computer? Even when idling it eats way more power than a monitor in standby.

Seems like something you would think about while, you know, designign a product? And not after its release?

Just install and try to resolve all your issues (if any) in a dualboot. That way you can always go back to Windows if something doesn't work. But if your experience is anything like mine, you'll find that 99% works either out of the box or after some minimal configuration. The only notable exception for me are online games that insist on intrusive anti-cheat software (e.g. BattleEye) and choose not to support Proton/Wine on Linux. Curse you, Escape from Tarkov!

I didn't get it for a solid 2 minutes before realizing you have to pronounce it wrong for the joke to work
