Imagine being able to use your computer 355 days of the year (looking at you, Office 365 and Teams) :)

I guess it's about time to look into Linux again. I've run it on and off since the late 90's, but always end up back on Windows because of games.
I only use windows if i have to in my workplace and it always sucks. It's the only thing on my workflow that slows me down or drives me crazy
And if you try to use a browser other than Edge it'll shoot your dog
What if my wifi goes down?
I have 300mb down with a major carrier. (Spectrum)
The service turns to un-useable shit all to often. All online games are out. Streaming services work most of the time, but barley. 5mb down would be great in those times when it slows to a crawl.
Rebooting modems/routers doesn't help, and there are times where it does get to 300mb down so I know the hardware can support it.
Online based Windows would be terrible for me. I'd move to another OS quick
Move out of the woods.
I wish Linux was an option for me, but Adobe software is what has me stuck, and there's no Steam pushing for that to be properly supported... And migrating my Lightroom catalog to another software would be an absolute nightmare.
