Realize I made this answer mostly about me instead of answering the question. Basically once I get all my files over to a new system, I don't think I will use Windows that much if at all. I use Fedora 97% of the time (and I use Windows mainly to get a file or install a computer update that gets stuck). I'd say go for it if you don't think you need it!

And this sort of cross over is the reason why I stay in the Fediverse ❤️

Thanks for the response. I think my options are imprecise. What you both are doing is what I meant by Option 2. I may cancel the poll and change the wording.

Thanks for letting us know - I was wondering how you were doing. Following you there!

That would be great! I know there can be some import duties that India imposes on tech that might delay that. I remember when I've travelled to visit family there that customs is VERY strict about the number of devices you bring in. So much so I usually travel with my work computer only rather than bringing my personal computer.

Watched the first episode of "Time Bandits" on Apple TV last night and I have to say that Kevin reminds me far too much of my very nerdy, misunderstood, history-loving childhood (minus the time-travel part of course). The scene where he spouts off random history facts about football / soccer to his disinterested peers hit really close to home. I don't have a good photo of me but even the glasses were similar at one point....

Probably the high cost of childcare and lack of nation-wide parental leave. In my opinion, one the reasons you had militant parent groups in the USA pushing for schools to reopen is that they wanted the school as child care.

P.S. - I also never used Instagram and LinkedIn gives me rashes, so I might not know what I am talking about here. I do notice when someone seems to just post hashtags and that seems odd. Even when I post on Pixelfed, I try to add SOME context into what I post. I think they have a 30 hashtag limit there.

I think you got to be a bit more generous on here about hashtags. Unfortunately they are essential to search here and they are kind of a blunt tool.
Sometimes when I'm posting here or on Pixelfed, I feel like I'm doing magical incantations hoping to hit on the right combination of words to reach more people. Sometimes you need to post variations of the same hashtag.
But I agree when I see someone with a WALL of hashtags, I tend to steer clear. That is annoying.
