Good, valuable work has meaning. To assume that it’s all meaningless is a miserable mindset.

Switching to Linux isn’t free. There are significant time, opportunity and switching costs involved.

I don’t see anything ironic about this. Zoom is just a tool for making video calls, it’s not even close to being a sufficient replacement for face-to-face interaction with people. A lot of people aren’t motivated to get work done when they are at home by themselves. In isolation you can feel like the work you’re doing is meaningless and not providing any value to anyone. When lockdowns affected my workplace productivity plummeted - we had people ostensibly ‘working from home’ that were answering a few emails here and there and then checking out without having done any actual valuable work at all.

If you hate your job, maybe it’s the work/management/culture that is the problem. WFH isn’t a solution to that, it’s just hiding away from the causes of your misery.

I still have a Lumia 930 in my drawer with WP 8.1. It was such a wonderful OS to use in look and feel. Had Cortana (alpha) on it too.
