You do have to reboot to use your new kernel after an update. But it's just a normal reboot, not the whole blocking installation process like in Windows.

In Switzerland we have a tax when selling a house on the value it gained since you bought it. So if you buy a house for price X and you sell it for more than that, you will be taxed on the price difference. Even if the price difference is just because of market fluctuations.
This is probably a better solution against flippers, since only those making money by increasing house values are taxed. The tax can then be made more or less aggressive as needed.
Edit: here are some more explanations about how this tax works https://www.ch.ch/en/housing/homeownership/taxation-of-real-estate#are-you-planning-to-sell-your-house-or-apartment

Does anyone know any Hard Sci Fi books about humans surviving without any hospitable worlds?
If you also accept TV series, Battlestar Galactica may interest you.

What can you do on Linux that you can't do on Windows?
- MS word (yeah, I don't like Libre and most of Libre Suit) it's not as good as MS suite, of c, but it's really bad.
Have you tried onlyoffice? Its interface is closer to ms office and an online version can even be self hosted and integrated with nextcloud or seefile.
It has apps for Linux and Android
Edit:
Here is the link to the standalone desktop app (not the online version): https://www.onlyoffice.com/desktop.aspx
And here is the link to the supported OSes for the desktop app (incl download links): https://www.onlyoffice.com/download-desktop.aspx
Finally, here is the link to the github repo of the desktop app: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DesktopEditors

How do I add UEFI entries to boot any USB device?
Don't you have an option to boot from usb in the BIOS?
Note that accessing the boot menus is not always with F12. Sometimes it's also ESC, F1, F2 or DEL. You should try those.

Migrated from Windows to Linux. Decided to share list of answers/statements I was looking for before did it (and could not find).

I use Linux at work because Windows has too many "annoyances that will curb [my] productivity". I can understand that it is not for everybody though.

How do disabled people who can't drive get their groceries in a car centric city?
If you can drive a car, you can probably also drive an electric wheelchair. This should be sufficient to take public transit or go to a nearby store.

If your computer is always running it may never take longer than five minutes. But try to leave your computer shut down for a month or more. Then updates accumulate and it can take really long to make them.

You could also set your alarm 25 minutes later (or whenever you need to) and waking up at that time without snoozing it. The sleep quality would probably be even a lot better than the one from the snoozeroulette. Snoozing just makes you wake-up earlier than you should.

Debian 12: how do I get Gnome Files to display preview thumbnails/icons for large video files? Right now it just shows generic icons
There should be an option in the setting to choose the max file size for which to generate the thumbnails.

Good question. Richard could also go by Chard.

You should respect everyone, teacher or not, and then you will start getting some respect too.

Why is Lemmygrad hated in the wider space of Lemmy?

Everyone piles on any comment which doesn't align perfectly with the agreed perspective.
Sounds like every popular community on Lemmy. The only difference is the "agreed perspective".

I understand that it's not possible for everybody (though it should) but regular and long enough sleep will allow you to wake up without even needing an alarm.
This can be difficult during your studies with irregular schedule (and too many parties) or some jobs with irregular working hours. But generally if you wake-up everyday at the same time to go to work and you had enough sleep, you will be awake when your alarm rings.

The BIOS should have a boot order option. You could set you USB as first priority there. Your USB may need to be plugged in to appear in this list.
