I imagine most of the skeptical people would be happy with a smallpox vaccine given it is a real vaccine that provides immunity by injecting an inactive (non replicating) virus. Compared to the latest ones that do something entirely different and at beast provide 'protection' - the CDC changed the definition of the word vaccine to include these latest bunch of jabs.

Very interesting perspective because I am the opposite (I think) and on occasion ‘try’ to let my mind wander. It’s peaceful and sometimes helps me sleep.

Unsure if this will be helpful but I found disabling the online part of windows search made it actually usable. Assuming you are only wanting to search locally.

Assuming this is what I have been looking for I would 100% purchase a one off licence for self hosting should your team ever think about that as an option. Even if it is just a 2021 version or something along those lines.

This very fact actually inspired the name of the project.

Have been self hosting this and using the dsub app for almost a year now. It’s amazing. Does everything I want it, offline caching, auto download starred music etc etc. I do however run Jellyfin along side it for desktop/laptop - it has a much better UI but lacks any sort of caching ability and suffers from cell signal issues when on the road.

Linux gaming is fantastic. I couldn't play dragon age origins on my windows 10 PC. Was a nightmare just to get it to launch and then it would just crash all the time. Tried it on my Linux machine and bam it worked no sweat. I should add the hardware was different so I can't rule out the game not working on rtx20 series or 9-10 gen i7. Couldn't believe it. (I also got it running on windows 7 before I decided to try my mint is).

The meter - while arbitrary as a UNIT of measurement - is defined. It is the length light will travel in a vacuum in 3.33ns ish. Whereas the unit of happiness has no such definition and varies from person to person.
