Not really. Outside of Walmart and maybe a smaller store ran by an older mom and pop shop, you can use NFC payments practically anywhere even at a drive thru. Only reason I still have my wallet is mainly for drivers license, but even that’s on the horizon.

It’s not a triple boot, I’ve had this happen on multiple times on a Windows/Ubuntu and Windows/Arch systems. Happened first on arch and just blamed it on Arch issues and switched to Ubuntu and it happened again and this is across different HW generations. automatic updates enables enabled on all configs and Linux will just have some weird issue that crops up that renders the OS not usable. I know what I’m doing and I’ve been running systems with Linux for over 20yrs. Linux has its issue and so does windows. Funny enough the majority of issues(at least in recent memory) have been on desktop systems. My first homelab server ran on my old dell laptop without any major issues for 5 years before migrating to a desktop.

It’s been a reoccurring issue for the past four years and I make sure that both my Linux and windows storage/boot drives are on completely separate drives. I also have a current issue on my Ubuntu server that’s plugged into a KVM where if I don’t have the sever as the active input, if switch back I won’t get a display unless I reboot the server. Honestly I mostly use it headless anyways by removing in via ssh, but it’s nuances like that’ll where I treat Windows the same way as Linux.

I keep coming back to see if Linux is usable for daily driving. I still dual boot but for the past 5 years if I don’t update my Linux partition for a few weeks due to going on holiday or visiting in-laws then I always run into boot issues. Mostly it’s been the OS booting to a black screen. At least windows doesn’t give me login issues and just works with any peice of hardware I want. It saying it’s perfect but even as a daily driver of windows canary, my windows system is much more stable than my Ubuntu/Arch System.

That seems like a sure fire way to hamstring your country. Does that also include firmware for devices? Will this government have a large dev team to make software that its populace can use? Would you install trackers and block the internet in general so citizens can’t get software that’s open source. Would you demand visitors to surrender their devices while visiting so the authorities can check for non-free software installed?

Funny you say that. I don’t like searing whites and I also just got officially diagnosed with astigmatism. I wonder if my glasses will make a difference.
