The Best way to switch to Linux is to NOT
Was ready to downvote but this is actually a really good guide, well done OP! The one issue I will raise, though, because I faced it myself, is that as long as you're still using Windows, it is way too easy to just go back to using the Windows programs not the open source ones. Only through switching to Linux can you really "throw yourself into the deep end" and force yourself to learn these new things. Microsoft has made themselves the "path of least resistance" (or at least that of "most momentum" for a reason) and if you've been using a computer for a while, it's a lot easier to break the habits and realise the benefits by giving yourself no other option than it is by trying to discipline yourself into using the new options.

$1K a month is a good deal
Wait American health insurance costs THAT MUCH? And then you have to pay MORE to use it? I'd been imagining a few hundred dollars p.m. and still thinking "that's too much". How is there anyone in your country who believes that public health could cost more than that?
You guys need serious help, I'm so sorry.
I have a medical treatment coming up that I'd thought was rather expensive, but after learning that it costs the same as 2 months of terrible medical cover in the USA I feel a bit better about it...

Pretty sure Jake is Oppenheimer in this meme, realising the cost of his vision for the future coming true.

The boomerangs subtly implying the real truth of the matter - that the Australians were behind it all along! No wonder "the Bush" was involved!

Paul, John, George, and Ringo were 4 friends, and they were all Beatles, so I think they might have skewed this data a little?

I can't disagree.
The more properties you own, the more tax you pay on the price of the next one - excluding if you only own one, but escalating quickly after like 3 or 4.

That group description reeks of "Russian plants placed to make the pro-Palestine crowd look bad" not gonna lie - especially since a pro-Palestinian hacktivist group would have a sum total of 0 reasons to target IA (and be cocky dicks about it)

Sexy Haruled
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

How do people in cities have fun without spending money at every turn?
Honestly I've found there's way more to do for fun that's free in cities compared to when I lived in a small town. The libraries, museums, parks, etc. are all much larger, more exciting, and easier to access - I don't even need to own a car to have fun anymore. There's also more social groups for more niche interinterests. Back when I lived in a town, the options for free(ish) fun were: go to a house, go to a mountain, go to the beach, and all were places you had to drive, god forbid you want to take a bus or walk somewhere, and then the people you would hang out with at those places were just co-workers or people you met in school, because there was no other way to meet people.
