I had an enterprise fiber side that I just bailed on and quit the place without notice(or another job lined up). It was genuinely soul crushing andi don't regret my decision. Granted 3 years later I make more than double the pay with less headache.

Yep, they didn't want people that think too much. They want drones to read off scripts and fake empathy when theit service is out(again). It wasn't as bad in CCST(complex coax support team), since my interactions were very rarely with end users(VARS, large national businesses and other carriers). But they got rid of that department and have the REP1(new people) handle that service and put us back on front line phone support. None of the CCST customers were happy about the degraded service from unknowledgeable and untrained support staff. I had an interview to move over to Enterprise Fiber, but skipped that and just completely quit without notice.

The place is structured to make sure nothing ever gets past the status quo. I had multiple engineering tickets closed out for probable network routing issues(on our end) because no one wanted to look into it. If you have any more than signal issues and something a modem reboot won't fix...good luck getting a problem actually addressed.

Unfortunately mostly true. I worked for Charter Business, and was told I was "being too helpful". They only want people who read off the script. I moved over to the CCST group before they killed that off. I'm so happy to be away from there, that place was soul sucking.

Bottles and Lutris would help in this case for you.

Or make Teams a not piece of shit. Even worse they had teams on Linux in the past. Now have new teams and new outlook, which are just electron...give it back to Linux please.

They have, they want you to buy the more expensive model with greater profit margins.

I lived in Charlotte, NC when Google announced GFiber was coming. Instantly AT&T started running as much fiber as possible and Charter(spectrum) was trying to get people locked into cheaper 3 year contracts. Ultimately AT&T got fiber first so we went with them, and it was vastly better. Charter was getting 60% packet loss every night from oversold infrastructure they didn't care to fix, as before the announcement the only competition was AT&T uverse in some parts of the city.

which isn't an effected version, so you should be okay.

dpkg --list | grep xz

should return what version of xz package is on your system. Likely 5.4, in which case you should be okay.

Wine and Cedega back in the early days, I played WiW in the Vanilla days on Suse Linux. My first foray into Linux was 2002 on a system that was decent for the time. I have fond memories of the first time I got my GeForce 3 card actually doing hardware acceleration. glxgears rendered hundreds of FPS.

Clearly much worse than what my highschool math teacher did, which was have sex with students

I forgot how much I liked the old Logitech logo. Make me remember my old MX518.
