I left my house for 30 minutes this morning, when I come back, there is a workman for the neighbours on my drive 😤 asked him to move and he goes "I'll be out of your way in 5 minutes"! Am I crazy or is that insanely disrespectful 🤬

Call me a beta if you want but I tried really hard to main Linux (Pop!_OS) but to be honest there were just too many things that were blocking my usual workflow.
