A whole library, or a yet another ad for Python, sorry?

This is more of a problem with how some people code more than python. I also find it irritating that some people import random libraries out of the internet to do simple things instead of actually spending the time to write two lines of code. Python has built in datetime library that could be used for this similar to the examples you gave.

For anyone else who might be wondering...

Israel is not in Europe, so why is it allowed to enter the Eurovision Song Contest?

ISRAEL is entitled to enter since it has long been a member of Eurovision - the principal criterion for taking part. The country's television service was established under the guidance of European experts including Stuart Hood of the BBC. Israel is also a member of the European Broadcasting Union. It won the song contest in 1978 and again in 1979, when it was televised from Jerusalem. Having won for the second time it had the right to host the competition again in 1980, but handed this to Holland due to lack of funds.

Looks safe. And while I was looking at the git repo, I noticed this:

An in-kernel driver for the rtl8821/11au chipsets has been merged into kernels 6.13 and 6.14.

Supposedly 6.14 kernel should come for ubuntu LTS next month. So once that comes out and you update. Your wifi should work out of the box and you no longer need to manually build this driver. https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle#ubuntu-kernel-release-cycle>

They now use intrusive soldering that solders surface mount and through-hole components at the same time:

The idea behind intrusive soldering, also known as pin-in-paste soldering is simple: solder paste is printed onto or around a through-hole pad, and the through-hole component is passed into reflow with your SMD components. The molten solder paste then fills in the through-hole and attaches the component pin.

What games will not be possible to use on Linux?

Most online games that have anticheat. (yes some work but most don't even if the anticheat could support linux.)

For example, will something like Escape from Tarkov work?

No

And is comparability with older games better or worse than W11?

YMMW. but often linux plays older windows games better than windows.

Only problem I see with this, is that at least Netflix limits you to 720p when using linux. I imagine Amazon and Disney might also have similar DRM related restrictions. Other than that, everything on your list should be doable.

if rebooting is and option, it will release the mounts. And should be safe because mounting on top of an existing path doesn't really break anything. the original files still exist, but are just hidden because they are under the new mount. Once the mount is released, everything should be as it was.
