"Tear gas is bad because it violates the Geneva convention" makes as much sense as "MLK is a bad person because he's a criminal"

I am rich and have no idea what to do

  • Look at the stats, fentanyl has always been rarely prescribed and even more rarely prescribed compared to other opioids. The fentanyl crisis is a crisis of economics: there is less profit to be made in creating, smuggling and selling other opioids compared to fentanyl.

    If you want to be accurate, doctors prescribed non-fentanyl opioids in situations where they weren't needed, often illegally, when those prescriptions ran out, that caused a heroin crisis. That heroin crisis became a fentanyl crisis when drug dealers stopped selling heroin in favor of the cheaper and much stronger fentanyl.

  • Different OSes for different use cases. You have a job to do. Just use Windows.

    If you want to use Linux, use it on your own machines on your own time.

    That said, there are a few things you can do if you really want to use Linux:

    1. Test if the app works on Wine, Proton, etc. Even GPU accelerated apps can work, depending on the software/driver stack.
    2. Run a Windows VM and pass-through a GPU. That way you'll get native performance on the app that's GPU intensive. Use KVM and the CPU overhead will be negligible.
    3. If you're doing 3D modeling/rendering, SFX, video editing or ML/AI, there are a lot of options on Linux. Some options that exist in Windows also have Linux versions.
  • Looks like Google is calling it Play Integrity these days: https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/safetynet/deprecation-timeline

    But it's this: https://developer.android.com/google/play/integrity

    It's an API that ensures you're running apps on the hardware and Android ROMs Google approves of. It can also ensure that apps are not running on rooted phones.

    Developers can integrate it into their apps. Banking apps do it, for example, and won't run in Waydroid as a result. More and more apps integrate it over time.

  • You can test Linux out by using a live USB instance or in a VM. You can also dual boot so you'll always have Windows available if you need it.

    You can also install WSL on Windows or something like Git Bash or MSYS2 to get a Linux-y environment on Windows.
