You are missing the big picture here The AI literally was able to do a year's work of a top notch developer team in just 11 days (mainly because of a lot of human intervention, otherwise it would have been faster) Why do you think its

I have a similar generic receiver, with some "not genuine" hardware ID. I just force select & install the signed microsoft drivers. The trick works in all versions of windows that I tried.

I actually tested gnome and didnt like it.(I cant recall the exact reasons) I also spent considerable time with other DMs (kde5, lxde and unity), and ended up liking xfce I think its a shame that the linux desktop software is so fragmented.

I used the default window manager that comes with xfce. I tried setting up other window managers in xfce, and come to the conclusion it is not straightfoward, and the integration with the rest of the system is not perfect. Also it was a fee

I've tried using linux desktop for daily use multiple times. Xfce was usually my choice for its simplicity and snappiness. But, there was this 1 simple thing that made me lose faith in the linux desktop: For xfce's default folder

I'm sure this is not the perfect answer since hotspotshield redirect somehow google search pages and force ads on every page. But you can get the ads away with a simple rule in .hosts file. Privoxy can add another layer of ad protection.

I don't see any reason why you shouldn't enjoy your summer. My point is that your first priority should be "to get the most complete medical education". This doesn't mean you have to forget about programming/IT.
