@cyberlyra Thank you for writing that, and thank you for giving me a new vocabulary word, keener! I have always lived in the U.S. and I was a keen learner interested in my surroundings. There was no regional description for me while I was younger, and it was painful to know I would need to learn uninteresting lessons for being employed before I could earn enough to afford adulthood with money for a small house with unending property taxes and health insurance and living expenses. I was fifty-two when I found out what people like me are called, here; they said Asperger's Syndrome, on the Autism Spectrum. Happy ending, now I have retirement income sufficient to pay taxes and insurance and enough left over to eat and sleep and resume learning new things of all sorts, learning for fun

Can we start calling the act of leaving Windows for Linux "defenestration" please?@magnusmanske Yes, certainly so and already I told this to many people in 2023 when I had "defenestrated my laptop!" One college graduate exclaimed to me, "You threw your laptop out the window?" I smiled and clarified to him, "No, I threw Windows out of my laptop!"
I'm unsure why so many comments refer to defenestration as solely involving people when very obviously the root of the word is so similar to the word for window in other languages, French and German have similar-looking words for window.
