Interesting. The creation has a Wikipedia page.

Donair? What's that? Fancy Doner Kebab made with Don Perignon and air?

I wrote it in German and I'll repeat it here. The headlines are misleading.

The youth did not turn to the (extreme) right.

There was a shift to the (moderate and extreme) right bloc across all ages. This is within the typical range for Germany. (Throughout history, the left did not win many elections.)

And there was a shift inside the right bloc to the extreme. This is somewhat unusual, but again, it happened throughout all ages. It's not young people.

In fact, the youngest voter group gave fewer votes to the right than any other group. (However, they also did not vote for greens as much as five years ago.)

The Nazi parties only win if we let them steal the media narrative.

Finally, a question where i can shine. You don't have to do anything specific. Just do things.

Use a headset with your phone or laptop: You are on a call. Most people don't speak much at online meetings.

Take a little nap? Thinking.

Want some time alone? Go to a meeting room. Works even better if the room has glass walls since you can see them and they can see that you are "busy", but no one sees your screen.

Have multiple monitors. There's always something work-related on at least one screen.

Have fields of interest that blend in. If one of your hobbies is vaguely related to work you are golden. You can totally read something unrelated to work during working time if it seems most your attention goes towards work. (See multiple screens and some switching back and force.)

Shift your working hours slightly from the norm, i.e. come 5 min earlier than others.

Don't hide windows with non-work stuff when someone sees them. Too late. Act as if you have nothing to hide.

Do a reasonable work-life blend. Work overtime occasionally at odd hours and make managers know that you solved an emergency in your free time. Gives you an excuse to leave early or slack off the next day and any other day.

React to emails with a resonable delay. Of course, you can help, but not right now. You are busy.

Block your calendar and decline invites.

Memory leaks?

Possible, but much more likely is disk full. Not a bug, just something that happens...

Or just git depending on the use case.

Nothing in live week ever be 100% guaranteed to work forever. You'll be fine, mostly.

  1. Yes, Live Linux system and regular install are practically identical. It's the same software. Everything should work. There's reason to assume Wifi will suddenly break. (Actually, Live systems differ a lot from a traditional install, but you can assume that what worked on the live system will work later. It is the same software after all. Same kernel including all drivers.)

  2. Keep this USB you have just booted from. This is the tool to recover if things should go south.

  3. You can keep Windows, usually, when installing Linux. The process requires "shrinking the Windows partition" and a boot loader that can handle both. Pretty standard; the installer should guide you.

  4. You can totally use a phone to google how to fix your Linux.

Have fun with Linux Mint. It's the Just works Linux.

I've been macOS user for past decade.

I find macOS UI superior to both Gnome and KDE.

I'm not surprised.

Also, I'm not sure if Gnome tries to mimic OS X or Windows or KDE, for the sake of this argument. Gnome (classic) was invented to replace (original) KDE, which sort-of tried to replace Windows.

Stuff evolves. UIs oscillate between minimalism and overload.

You fill up the usable space. Or the visible space. No one will disamble the device and read from the raw storage.
