No problem! There are actually a lot of good paid software for Linux too but most people don't know about them. Mostly targeted businesses but that's fine I think.

This one has a perpetual license option, which could be steep for personal use but could be fine for a business. PDFsam Visual is great for what it does. You can also try it for 14 days too and then decide if it's useful for you or not.

You can delete it.

Sadly this is nothing new. These are happening in Okinawa a lot. And US don't let Japan to trial those soldiers, basically protects them.

It's either you need more RAM or you must learn to use a tab group extension. Also, if it gets slow, just restart it.

Simple Tab Groups is a nice add-on.

My personal favourite is Sidebery. It has vertical tabs and easily navigatable via mouse wheel. You can even unload a tab. And has tons of customization options.

It's a design thing. BIOS can know NVMe disks' location because they're directly mounted to PCIe. SATA isn't like this. Similar logic with the RAM slots.

Always lsblk before dd. The order of /sdX might change from boot to boot. Only /nvme doesn't change.

Reddit still comes up on search engine results, so many people still visit Reddit one way or another. However, you can use LibRedirect extension for this. Once you set a working frontend for Reddit, you can visit anonymously.

I approached this as they are more techie than a regular user, so they can learn Linux faster if they want. Otherwise, it's their job and they are not a regular user. It's the same for MS Office too. If it's related to someone else's job, it's most likely irreplaceable. However MS Office is not a must for people who just want to write or do some spreadsheet.

Basically I exclude jobs from "everyday users".

Well, it's true that Photoshop has no real competitor, at least in the FOSS world. Otherwise we wouldn't have this conversation. :)

I mean, I get MS Office part but do normal people use Adobe stuff (aside from Acrobat)? As I see, normal people don't even know how to use Photoshop. The ones who can use Adobe products can use Linux as well without a hassle in my opinion. However, a change requires to relearn things. Probably that's the reason people don't seek a change, unless they feel a little adventurous.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Hopefully, Microsoft will break that cycle.

Golan Heights was under Israel invasion since 1967, maybe that's the reason? /s

Though they moved even further than that now, which is concerning.
