Whew, switched to Linux just in the nick of time!

I haven't been, but am looking at it after your post.
I made the switch in January, and it's been great. The only game I've had trouble with is a fully-kitted Skyrim with a bajillion external apps/runtimes, but I've managed to get even that working fine. Every other game is just Install/Play from Steam with no tweaks.
Nah, just someone trying to position an image in a Word doc.
I did that just before the tariffs were announced. Kept the old PC (Win 10) but haven't turned it on since except to copy some files. Games, .NET development, everything I need working just fine. Can't see any reason to ever go back.
No, so long as the bread and circuses continue to flow.
Am I an oddball in that as a developer, that QA answer is the sort of answer I give? It annoys management to no end.
Danny Trejo!
If I worked there, I'd be tempted to write a program that would scan and replace some characters with Unicode/international similar characters. So for example, instead of "DEI" it would become "DẸI".
"No sir, 'DEI' isn't anywhere on site."
I'll have to take a look at Warpinator. Had been just doing SCP to the new machine, I'll check it out.
Same, but I was running an i5-6600K, 16GB RAM, and a 6800XT. Replaced with this: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Vraylle/saved/YWC66h
Right now I'm still setting it up for work, so the tooling I'm replacing is dev-related (Remmina instead of mRemoteNG, NetPad instead of LinqPad, etc.).
Also grabbed InputLeap to share the same keyboard/mouse between old and new PC while I do this, and set up a local SSH server on the new so I could just SCP files directly to it over local network instead of popping USBs....
Been a lot of work but disturbingly fun.

I wish we had a graduated approval system, going from "limited data, but a possibility it could really help some people" up to "lots of data, massive peer reviews, effective and completely safe". Let people willing to take personal risk do so, just make it informed.
