I'm just pointing out that not everyone thrives in a WFH environment and I think it shouldn't be a controversial take to admit that.

I work in an industry that doesn't sleep, that doesn't mean I'm putting in more than 40 hours a week on a regular basis. But we need someone to be on-call over the weekends in case there is an emergency. And when I do, my boss lets us take additional time off later in the week to make up for it. You guys are making crazy assumptions based off nothing.

That works great if you have the space to do so. I live in a very small home by myself and I really don't have that kind of space around.

Its not a uniquely "me" problem, I've talked to plenty of other people who feel the same way as I do. I'm not talking about putting in extra time when I'm not supposed to be at work. I'm just talking about how it "feels" to constantly by in your workplace like that. I personally think it kinda sucks. I'm sure other people can deal with it fine, but I live in a small house where I don't really have a separate room like a basement office or something I can dedicate to being my workspace. I might feel differently about it if I had the space.

Also, I work in an industry that requires 24/7 coverage, we keep the Internet service running for hundreds of thousands of customers and businesses. I very very rarely put in more than 40 hours a week, but there are times where I need to be on call over the weekend in case there is an emergency. And when I do, I take time off later in the week to make up for it.

Benchmarks are readily available, I have a 5080. Some DX11 and older games do run slightly better on Linux. But a lot of them don't. And pretty much 100% across the board DX12 games run 10-30% slower on Linux compared to Windows. Nvidia has even acknowledged the issue and claims to be working on a solution.

I liked working from home at first, but after so long it becomes harder and harder to leave your work at "work" when your workplace is also your home. Now I am back in the office and actually prefer it that way. I have the flexibility to work from home on weekends or when I need to be home for some reason, which is good enough for me.

I know I am a display tech nerd, but can people really not tell the difference? Even going from a 1440p to a 4k monitor to me was a very noticeable improvement to clarity. And there's a huge difference in the way that games look on my living room TV in 1080p compared to 4k.

I disagree with your characterization of Kirk as just being a "right-wing populist" and denying that he held views that were deeply racist, antisemitic, sexist, homophobic and transphobic. He was a white supremacist and a Christian Nationalist. Lets not beat around the bush. From an outside perspective it appears that you're trying to minimize that or even outright deny that it's true.

I would argue that neither of those facts disqualify him from being antisemitic.

He was definitely antisemitic to some degree. Just look at what he's said about Jewish people:

“Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them."

“The philosophical foundation of anti-whiteness has been largely financed by Jewish donors in the country.”

“[Their] goal is to destroy Western civilization, get rid of anything that the white man might have been responsible for.”

“It is true that some of the largest financiers of left-wing anti-white causes have been Jewish Americans.”

Sounds pretty antisemitic to me.

I feel like you've cherry-picked a few examples of claims people have made that are disprovable while conveniently ignoring some of the more reprehensible things Kirk said and believed.

Trust me, if your employer wants to know if you've been coming into the office or not, they can easily find out without needing Microsoft Teams to tell them about it. They can see what IP address your machine is connecting from. And if you work in a building with secure access they could also just pull your badge-in history to find out if you're actually there or not.
