Linux people!
I had the thought that maybe one of the reasons I can get work shit done so much easier On The Clock than Anywhere Else is, at my previous job I was not primarily on a personal device.
...Okay so that isn't going to work so hot for work shit that isn't directly For The Corporate Overlords or whatever. Unless I acquire a second laptop, which, uh. Shall we not?
But hey! I have previously turned a Windows machine into a Windows-Linux dual-boot without difficulty! I could make this laptop also a Linux machine and use the Linux for work shit! And just...not let myself log in to social media shit on the Linux side. (I'd still have access to the things on my phone, but I got work shit done just fine at previous job by alternating the work desktop and my phone.)
Ubuntu is what I had ten years and several machines ago. I have forgotten everything.
And I'm sure Linux options have changed in the past ten years! Techradar is currently recommending Zorin OS for total newbies, Linux Mint for beginners, and Ubuntu (or Lubuntu for less graphics-heavy or Ubuntu Studio for audio and video processing) for somewhat more experienced users. iTechHacks and It's FOSS concur.
*debates*
Does anyone have any strong opinions?
