This depends on the goal. Sure, installing Linux in a VM is easy and will always work. Also working within a VM is usually just fine. However you still have to keep Windows underneath with all it’s problems like end of 10.

Take any distro you fancy, Mint is a good start. Create a bootable USB stick an try it out. This is does not modify anything on your computer, just loads linux and let’s you test it. I usually play a youtube video. This shows that wifi, video and sound work out of the box.

Nee, Gerät kaputt.

For me, if a water fountain exist, it had always worked, especially indoors. Why would someone waste space for a broken water fountain?

No. That’s the point. LibreOffice does not send your data to Microsoft.

LibreOffice is what Microsoft Office WAS without the bugs. If Word and Excel worked for you before the cloud, Libre is golden.

Hab Pollen gelesen und war verwirrt.

Thanks. That’s a better explanation than just mentioning that there is character with this name in some musical or movie.

Ok. I’m stupid. Who wants to explain the joke?

How many millilitres are in a gallon?

Sounds like it’s fully compatible query devices running older version. Great.

b) is a recent(*) change. GitHub was independent when it became big

a) GitHub was never open-source, but by combing git and great UI/UX, it was a good choice.

Git is open-source and the distributed nature of git reduces the vendor-lock-in. You need to understand where we came from (svn or git to some ssh server). Coming from self-hosted git, embracing github did not take away your power over your own source code; you still had a copy of all branches on multiple machines. The world is different now, where github has become a single-point of failure.

(*) Update: Okay, maybe 2018 was not recently, but my point stands. GitHub existed long before the Microsoft purchase.

A gold bar gifted to an institution would still count as corruption in most sane jurisdictions. Sure those loopholes exist, but we tend to disguise them as investments or charity.

Wait for the price tag on the upcoming golden monitor stand.

I have enabled this on my private machine, because it’s free and it was asking so nicely.

I don’t have the same patches on servers at work.

Eben. Der Mitgliedsbeitrag ist ja nicht die Zahlung für das Gras, sondern finanziert den Verein.

Sollte noch Vermögen übrig sein, wäre es angebracht, die Mitglieder entscheiden zu lassen. Und der Vorstand muss natürlich so oder so entlastet werden. Die können nicht mit der Kohle der Mitglieder abhauen.

Wurde das Vermögen aber satzungsgemäß ausgegeben, dann ist das halt Schade.
