Please correct me but my understanding is that in essence it’s sort of like the US. There are legally defined reasons you can’t be fired but there are plenty of reasons you can and if they want to fire you, a legal reason can be found witho

I grew up all-GUI windows kid. I actually had a revulsion to the shell, mostly because it seemed unfriendly and scary. In my early 20s I tried to run Plex on a Windows 7 box and it was miserable. I forced myself to lean by switching to a he
