Just install and try to resolve all your issues (if any) in a dualboot. That way you can always go back to Windows if something doesn't work. But if your experience is anything like mine, you'll find that 99% works either out of the box or after some minimal configuration. The only notable exception for me are online games that insist on intrusive anti-cheat software (e.g. BattleEye) and choose not to support Proton/Wine on Linux. Curse you, Escape from Tarkov!

I didn't get it for a solid 2 minutes before realizing you have to pronounce it wrong for the joke to work

That's not the problem. Coming from metric, I expected m s^-2^ for acceleration. The imperial units for distances are weird enough in their own right – but using two different units of time for the two time derivatives is truly unholy.

I was not ready for the truly unholy unit of mile per hour per minute

My condolences.

You guys are using windows?

The natural representation would be the transient solution u(t) or i(t). Harmonic solutions are merely a special case, for which it turned out complex numbers were useful (because of the way they can represent rotation). They certainly serve a purpose there, but imo this is not an instance of 'complex numbers appearing in nature'.

But that is hardly a 'natural occurence' of complex numbers - it just turned out that they were useful to represent the special case of harmonic solutions because of their relationship with trig functions.

or just install and then shut down?

Hardware that lasts forever? Great idea! Just make it as sturdy and user-repairable as possible, and there's no need for a subscription
