@lemmy.mlYeah some of them are keen, some of them like an extra pair of hands to steady things, or a good chat. You'll always learn something even just by watching them.
Anytime I need to seek something outside my skillset, I basically offer myself as "apprentice for the day" and you'd be surprised how many will take you up on it.
I ride daily, also skateboard and work in transport, my local political rep came past the other week and all I could say was "can we get those phone cameras every 200m on every road in the country? It's the only way we'll get the fuckers off their phones."
Hope she took it on board tbh.
If it helps I found and bought some "you park like a cunt" stickers a few years back, good times.
I'm taking a dual-boot route, it does have it's issues. Unfortunately due to work related and gaming reasons I can't let go of it just yet.
I went with Linux Mint and I've been happy as Larry since I got used to it. But distro hop until you find your fit I'd say, I had spare hardware I was distro-hopping with and Mint just fit me best I think.
You're spot on with Ventoy, it's a huge boon. I only recently became aware of it, absolutely love it already. I highly recommend giving it a go.
Awesome writeup, I'll likely refer to it in future.
