There are also 3rd party interfaces which are basically web client wrappers that add some features.

IMO generally be a positive about Linux rather than negative about Windows. Asking about what systems they support is reasonable though. Just know that you may be passing up jobs if this is your hill to die on.

Maybe you shouldn’t be hitting people… /s

Have you looked into Solus at all? They are rolling and build with a focus on desktop usage.

Uh, she told me that she and her family used Linux first…

Sigh I hate getting into it on social media, but this is just blatantly untrue.

Hamas has shown just how brutal they are willing to be the past few days and they explicitly have in their charter the destruction of Israel. Hamas given the chance would absolutely ethically cleanse all of the Levant of Jews. The PLO has a martyr fund for dying while killing Israelis. Israel not fighting would absolutely lead to complete destruction.

On the other hand, if Israel wanted to, it could completely wipe out any and all Palestinian areas. Palestine has no real air force, navy, or artillery and wouldn't be able to stop them. The only reason Israel hasn't done so is they have decided not to.

This isn't commentary on the entire conflict or the history or who is right/wrong. I'm just pointing out that this is factually incorrect.

As far as I know there isn't any real RISC-V desktop ecosystem yet. Most uses these days are embedded. Besides performance, there are a lot of applications that aren't compatible with it. Unless you can verify that your specific needs can be met with RISC-V now, you are probably better off getting a system from System76 or the like that tries to reduce or outright disable IME. Alternatively you may be able to do it with Coreboot/Libreboot.

Oracle free tier is 24GB of RAM. I hate Oracle as much as the next person, but worst thing they do is shut it off and you have to migrate.
