Same, since 2009. Even got better battery than on windows (and by far since windows 10) But it's true that you better buy a laptop that you know has good support. eg: almost any dell, almost any asus, any thinkpad.

Partially related, I had the same problem with the landlord and just changed the door lock keeping also the old one in a box. So until I live here I am the only one with the key, when I transfer I change back the door lock and the landlord

Honestly, that's what says any employer in any part of the world. I am currently in a SW-EU state and I hear the same exact words every day, and here the work market is far more heavy regulated and taxed.

It depends. I am a night owl and if I wake up too soon I am really useless for almost the whole day. Instead waking up later than usual (like 11-12am) makes me hyper-productive until late night. I guess each person has a different time of b
