The fucking calendar doesn’t show a whole month at once and instead a rolling 4 week selection of dates with the current week at the top. It’s fucking infuriating and while I can’t find a setting to switch to change that, I can change AM/PM to other custom abbreviations. No idea who that’s for but hey ho whatever Microsoft

Edit: I keep posting variations on this complaint hoping someone will eventually respond to the tune of “you’re a fucking moron, this is how you fix this” but it hasn’t happened yet, so that leads me to believe that it’s an actual fucking problem with the calendar module which blows my mind.

It’s easy, you just need >!to install Linux!<

Lmao tbf this is on a work computer where I don’t have that kind of control.

I still have 10 on the home PC and I get closer and closer to installing Linux on it every time I tinker with my raspberry pi. That said, I fear the same issues will come up. The second something doesn’t work right, I’m gonna have to turn to hunting down forum posts with issues similar to mine but slightly different and randomly applying fixes I don’t truly understand until something works. Not that this is all that dissimilar to when windows 10 breaks, but that happens far less often than it does with the Linux distros I’ve used.

Then comes the concern that I won’t be able to find drivers for the hardware I have, or if I upgrade hardware that it’ll be much harder to get drivers for newer stuff… I’d love to ditch Microsoft, but Linux, while much better than a decade ago, is still a shlep to use

Just pick a distro and a small cheap ssd, and make sure you use btrfs and enable snapshotting schedule from day one. Then If you get in that situation its super easy to flip back to an earlier state.

You will absolutely me counter situations that force you to investigate a bit, but as you use it those will become less frequent.

Stay in the Linux environment as long as you can take it. If you get frustrated hop back in windows a bit until you get the hankering to try again.

Worst case scenario is you’re out ~20 USD. (Though I understand that’s too much for some)
