It's not even AI.

Question: If windows is required, what distro do you recommend? in c/[email protected]

From all the comments it looks like it's quite a challenge to go native Linux.

One option, run a VM using KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine, native to some distros).

You can install Windows IOT LTSC (Long-term Servicing Channel), which receives only security updates 2x/year, no others. It also doesn't have all the bloat. It's what I run for daily use.

Win10 LTSC. It gets updates 2x/year, has very minimal bloat.

Windows LTSC Downloads, don't forget to grab the key.

Then get O&O Shutup to reduce bloat even more (mostly just to limit telemetry on Windows).

And you can permanently license it using Microsoft's own scripts. - Scripts on Github.

At one time you could directly launch apps in VMs using SeamlessRDP, I'm not sure if that still works or if there's something new.

As others have said, wtf is wrong with the school - requiring OneDrive? FFS

No, they misspoke.

Literally means literally:

Consolidate all meetings to 1 day per week

Op must live in a very different works from me. I have project meetings all the time, and they're very productive, with no overlap in subjects. On average, I have 16 hrs of meetings a week - there's simply no way to have them in one day, nevermind trying to force everyone else onto my schedule. And I'm a technical person - it's just that my input is needed on several project teams.

But it's still good general advice - ensure that the meetings you do have are required and run well.

Thanks, that's pretty cool. Gotta love OSS geeks, build shit cause they can.

Sadly, not being built in is part of the problem 😕. Though this will be a great, lightweight tool I can add to my kit, and to builds.

This needs to be in ratios VS cost of living values.

NY/LA VS Hayes Kansas, $100k is a very different thing.
