  • It souds like this is literally your first step outside of windows.

    Don’t listen to any of these people, stick to dual boot, especially if your quality of life (I mean your hobbies) are tied to mastery of a known ecosystem of specific softwares.

    Linux can work but you will need to compromise, and you will royally fuck up and unless you are embracing troubleshooting as an hobby you won’t like it.

    Dual booting allows you to have a safe harbor for when things go south.

    I’ve had a dual boot for around 6 years and only this year I have, not deleted windows but set up my boot to default to linux (it used to be last OS booted).

    I had to give up the quality of some audio filters for streaming, I coud not for the life of me figure out how to run a couple of specific games, I’m unable to uncompress big .exe archives (yarrr) in certain specific disks and after a year of smooth daily sailing I had my drivers go nuts and had to dive in and fix it, doing research on old shitty reliable windows.






  • Let’s simplify the “riddle”.

    It states: a number is 1 plus half that number.

    What is a quantity that added to “half a number” gives the number? What do you add to 0,5 to make 1?

    The other half.

    So we go back to the original statement: “a number is 1 plus half that number” and change it to “a number is half that number plus half that number”.

    If you go back and forth between the two you may notice that one the one side there is “1” and on the other “half that number”.

    $1 is half the cost, what is the total cost?

    We leave the last step to the readers.

    They are basically cops. And the analogy holds on many level including that yes, some can genuinely be on your side and try to help you or fix the system from the inside, in a way, but it’s pretty much “luck based”, you have no foolproof way to tell one from the other.

    The wise strategy is to be your own HR, study the contracts and the laws. If you go in blind trusting HR you can be lucky and have a good happy professiona life or get fucked.

    Knowing also helps dramatically in undestanding where HR can realistically help, where it can harm and where it is going beyond expectations and is on your side.

    Don’t expect them to put you above their own survival though…
