Oh, nice!

Yeah; it’s pretty great. It lacks the excel functions, but if you know some python that is a total non-issue.

I appreciate your mentioning the downside. I am way too much of a tinkerer for a read-only root to be acceptable for me, but I’m glad you found something you like.

Local python uses ~/.local/bin, so in the interest of avoiding conflict, it is probably better to use ~/bin.

What the heck? This bends my brain.

This is not that big of a deal most of the time, since you are the only person interacting with your computer, but it’s worth remembering when you decide to recycle or donate – you have to securely wipe in that case. Also bear in mind, if you do encrypt your drive, there are now more possibilities for total data loss.

Oh, fun fact: you can change a users windows password inside Linux. Comes in handy for recovery, ie, user forgot their password.
