Use it and love it. I live in the countryside and google just doesn’t bother capturing footpaths. Using OSM (I use OpenMultiMaps for Android) I can see contour maps, much clearer transport maps, footpaths, and pretty much anything else I need. Occasionally the notes people write have been handy too, for example for marking footpaths that are poorly maintained or turb into a swap in rain
2016 for me. I wanted a music production suite, and was given a new laptop for starting college (uk college, I was 15 at the time). I decided to try out Ububtu Studio, a media/art-centered branch of Ubuntu. I found that the incredibly slow laptop that I used to have just… worked? It was somehow faster at doing day to day tasks than my much newer laptop. I also found the visual aesthetics (Ubuntu Studio was pre-Unity Ubuntu) really appealing.
As I kept using it, I found that more and more my time was being spent on my older laptop rather than the newer one. I started disteo hopping nefore setttling on Manjaro in early 2017. Then I went for i3 and dwm, which led to me using gentoo for a few years. In my last year of uni I found that my time maintaining my set-up was getting impractical on top of all the work so I went back to Windows briefly. Very quickly realised I couldn’t use it anymore and so set myself back up with Manjaro.
Currently giving Ubuntu a go because my current laptop has dual amd/nvidia graphics and out of the box it just works much better on Ubuntu. There’s been some frustrations but I can’t see myself going back to Windows. I use it for work on my work laptop and the little things frustrate me to no end
Wholly recommend going back to it, even if at a lower difficulty. Shivering Isles was a great dlc and imo better than the base game. Main issue with Oblivion was that the levelling was really messed up, similar to Morrowind but without the transparency and with many more issues with enemy-scaling. Keeping a low level means you can enjoy the story without having to deal with the levelling system issues as much

I’ve always found this sort of stuff interesting, the stark contrast between what Tory voters preach and what the party has often stood for. The party’s emphasis seems swayed by whoever has the biggest wallet rather than actually promoting traditionally conservative values.
If anything, the UK has become more dependent on other countries in recent years. Our public transport is pretty much entirely owned by foreign companies that charge extortionate amounts here because their own countries have better regulations.
They could’ve made Brexit into a huge push to eat more seasonally and support local farmers, which would both help local economy and be more environmentally friendly, but instead they focussed on drawing attention towards immigration
If you don’t mind having some outdated packages (or using nix for the few you want to be most up to date) then you may find Debian works best for your needs. Manjaro’s also a solid choice but the team behind it have been in some drama over the past few years so more people are saying to avoid it these days.
You could use Arch, its installation is nowhere near as difficult as people often state (it’s also got much easier in recent years) but I don’t think it’d fit your “it just works” needs. It does “just work” once properly set up, but the issue is making sure it’s properly set up. If it’s your first time doing that extra bit of configuration then you’re bound to miss a few things
Been using PeerTube on and off for about a year now, been planning on starting a maths education channel on Trom. It’s definitely got potential, but I don’t see the average Youtube user migrating over to it any time soon. The main issue really is that children/young teens are a large portion of the target audience for a lot of big creators these days and the mobile apps for peertube are heavily lacking still. Not helped of course by the fact that one of the better android apps, NewPipe, which allows both YouTube and PeerTube in one place is not on the Play Store
Overthinking it is exactly what leads to the solution “no” imo. If you say no every time, then you can only possibly be correct 1/3 of the time since it’s a 1/3 chance of picking the correct door. Hence 2/3 of the time you picked incorrectly and hence should switch. By design if you pick incorrectly then the switched door will be the correct solution
There’s definitely a lot of ueless hype surrounding it, and anything really with the word quantum in it. Quantum computers will be really good at a specific set of problem-solving, but a lot of the hype around them makes them out to be some sort of direct upgrade to normal computers which just isn’t true
