Potentially unpopular response: engineers! I respect the knowledge and intellect, and I do not respect the deficits in curiosity and emotional intelligence. The engineers I know (some of whom I love) tend to be experts on the things they do know, but they don’t know what they don’t know.
MX is great. The MX tools are very useful and Sysvinit isn’t as difficult to use as I had assume. It runs great on an old thinkpad of mine. Seems like a very viable option for people looking to self-host on older gear.
I run LMDE on my partner’s old surfacebook and installed the surface kernel. It runs smoother than windows ever did, battery life improved too, full touchscreen. Though I did install fedora prior to LMDE and the touchscreen functionality may have been better with that, but the system was slower overall.
IMO, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard has an awfully high good band/dumb name differential
You sound like you’re dealing with my old friend burnout. Take a vacation and see how you feel after it. You have lots of options if you’re truly (and understandably) done with nursing. Nurses can do anything IMO.
