This is Slashdot where expecting high tech literacy used to be standard. (Note the OP UID.)

I do similar and find using multiple OS quite convenient rather than burdensome. I don't "switch", I "add" instead and have done so since I was new to Slashdot at the turn of this century.

An OS is just a tool to run applications and the more one chooses the be comfortable with the more choices they have. Learning Linux hasn't been difficult for decades.

With VMs and other options it's trivial to have any or many OS at hand (one reason the "home lab" enthusiasts often have rackfulls of SFF and tiny PCs easily remoted into from their main machine or any other).

When proprietary software makes FOSS more attractive that's to be encouraged so companies have more incentive not less to support Linux. The worse Windows gets the better.

Games are trifles compared to freedom and FOSS is critical to freedom of communication and computing now and in future. Pretending to be a cartoon character is fun but gaming is hardly critical to quality of life.

Prosecuting arsonists doesn't unwind time, bro.

Hawaii does not need the telescope and American scientists don't need it to be in such an expensive location should they choose to visit. There is no reason to want that hardware to be in Hawaii which will only become more crowded and more expensive to visit and live in.

Isolation on the Canary Islands is pure win for all concerned.

I learnt orienteering in ninth grade because the outdoors demands to be taken seriously. My class quite enjoyed it. We hiked parts of the Appalachian Trail on our own without worry because we knew what to do and where we were at all times. None of this was difficult.

If/when it does there will be mass layoffs because the ideal business has no human employees.

The purpose of AI is to replace humans by facilitating legal constructive dismissal. Businesses are willing to invest enormous sums to be rid of workers.

Still overkill but not remotely impractical. Sending a "whole computer" would be no more difficult than shipping tiny PCs to Ebay buyers who often buy several at once for our "home lab" style setups.

A typical tiny PC plus power brick and its cord easily fits in a flat rate box (though for Important Stuff best sent next day air).
