I cannot recommend switching to Linux enough! Linux mint is a solid, stable OS with a thriving community and ample support for newcomers.

There are alternatives to nearly everything, yes YOU CAN absolutely live without microsoft or google tracking your every move, stealing your data, selling it and using that profit to fund unethical bullshit. Take back control, you will never regret it.

Should I bother trying to go back to college now? (lemm.ee)
 

This might be the wrong place for this but idk who else to ask & it feels like a stupid question so here it is.

I am 25, wanting to go back to college (blew 4 years already, long story) now that I feel like I can handle it & have a sense of direction. I'm concerned it isn't going to be doable now with trump, if I apply for financial aid and it gets gutted, idk the prospect of applying to college during this shit political landscape feels pointless. my question is, is it? Would it be a bad move or waste of time & energy to get into a college?
