  • My advice is try using existing documents with Libre office. You can install it on windows as well.

    I use Linux for over twenty years now and installed windows on a vm last week to Wirte my resume. Libre office is fine, you run into problems when opening and editing existing ms office documents. At least that is my experience.

    But give Libre office on windows a shot, see if you like it.




  • I regularly comments from users who were not aware or the financial situation. Maybe “we” need to promote it a bit more. But it is 332 per week, not month. At the beginning of the last migration it stood at 40 something, so we at least got some traction.

    Thanks for the update and thanks for the work guys, I really appreciate it



  • In the case of Ames, yes there was.

    From Wikipedia

    The CIA also realized that, despite Ames’ annual salary being $60,000, he could afford:

    A $540,000 house in Arlington, Virginia, paid for in cash

    A $50,000 Jaguar luxury car

    Home remodeling and redecoration costs of $99,000

    Monthly phone bills exceeding $6,000, mostly calls by Ames’ wife to her family in Colombia

    Premium credit cards, on which the minimum monthly payment exceeded his monthly salary

    In March 1993, the CIA and FBI began an intensive investigation of Ames that included electronic surveillance, combing through his trash and the installation of a monitor in his car to track his movements. From November 1993 until his arrest, Ames was kept under virtually constant physical surveillance. When, in early 1994, he was scheduled to attend a conference in Moscow, the FBI believed it could wait no longer, and he and his wife were arrested on February 21



  • Not OP, but here are my 2 cents. You can’t really go wrong with that degree imho. Even if you only land an entry level job at the beginning, you can quickly advance from there. You just to have keep learning.

    If you haven’t done so already, get a raspberry pi, install docker, get used to how it works. Destroy everything, start over. Get another pi, learn kubernetes.

    You can stand out and succeed if you can learn and adapt to new technologies. The system doesn’t matter, it’s how you approach it.

    Beat of luck to you!





  • It is absolutely possible to dual boot from a single harddrive. Don’t know about fedora, but the Ubuntu installer has taken care of that for ages now. Yes, it can fuck your windows install initially, but that is normally reversible.

    If you don’t know, a computer uses so called partitions and not the hard drive directly. Think of them as folders. Normally you have one partition which holds the bootloader information (one or two OS, or more) and then a partition for each OS. A little Programm after Turning on the computer let’s you choose which OS you want to boot.

    A lone Linux installation often has three partitions on one harddrive. One boot Partition, one for the OS and one for the home directory of all users. This way you can reinstall the OS without loosing your home directory.
