How did you learn Power-shell scripting?
any books worth looking at? Looking at expanding some more, and I know Automation makes jobs way easier.

That doesn't mean I can't get work done.

Working on vacation is totally an American concept.

Visiting the in-laws is not exactly a vacation either.

Heh, yeah I was going to add unless you are in Japan but not on vacation when you are working. Similar to how I did before, had a couple of weeks of true vacation, and worked remotely otherwise,while overseas.

I'll do it along with my current job for $37 an hour. You don't need to pay health insurance then.

Did you miss the in St Louis requirement?

Pitt to St Louis, easy commute once every two weeks.

I might need to crunch numbers about Atlanta to St. Louis

It'd be at least $3500 a month in travel expenses for me lol.

Linux is only meant for Server OSes ... not for our workstations, it will only take more of your time.

By that logic, Windows isn't meant for anything, haha.

Linux makes a far smoother, faster, more reliable workstation experience than Windows in my experience. And every new user we introduce to it agrees. We never see someone say Windows works better, or is easier, or has better support. I have absolutely no idea how you are having Linux issues, but for most people, it's so incredibly smooth and well polished that it blows their minds that anyone is using Windows once they see how easy it is.

He's using confirmation bias everywhere. One second it's one thing, the next it's about gaming, then again a $300 system, then Hyper-V, then Win10 Home. He's all over the place here and is obviously on a 48-hour THC binge.

f your smart you can get Win 10 Home license for 15$ valid but you just need to research

Obviously you've done no research and have no idea what you are even defending. Win10 home has no Hyper-V so you are stuck using a type 1 or WSL, which isn't a VM.

you mean type 2, right?

Obv.

System76 cheapest option 1000$ my hardware is like 300-400$

What kind of nice gaming gpus are you talking about in a $300 system? I think you are full of it.
