I gave up and used a Windows VM for such shenanigans. It's hard when even the government doesn't want to listen. This is a good project which bridges the gap -> https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps.

The primary issues that I faced with Windows (Win10 nearly a decade ago) are

  • very slow updates
  • constant 100% disk usage after boot
  • high background process usage
  • [Rare] messing with my dual partition setup
  • The final error which caused me to format my PC -> After logging in, the desktop froze, no icons showing up, no task manager.

If I had never used Linux, these wouldn't even seem like problem; just normal Windows shenanigans. But after using Linux, I can never go back. I don't know how much worse/better Win11 is now but can't be bothered to try.

By standard social definitions, I’m a broke student

This, i believe, is one of the biggest faults of society/social media which is not discussed enough. We are always chasing an unreachable goal of success which makes us constantly depressed.

I don’t mind public transport because it’s good enough for my needs

I mostly use public transport other than scenarios where it's just not feasible (catching a flight at 6-7 am). What I meant to say is that I am fortunate enough to be in an area which has good public transport.

I consider myself rich. This is how i have quantified it

  • Rich enough to avail public transport
  • Rich enough to eat home-cooked meals (enough time to purchase the items as well)
  • Rich enough to spend time on the gym to improve my health
  • Rich enough to spend time on my hobbies (gaming)
  • Rich enough to have spare time to spend with my loved ones
  • Rich enough to afford a nationalized healthcare plan
  • Rich enough to plan a investment technique so that I can retire peacefully

I am extremely privileged. Sometimes I wonder if I even deserve it. I don't think i will require any more money at this point. But people around me will call me middle-class because i'm not hustling enough. I don't care to be honest; i'm at peace.
