TBH, the mods should change the sidebar from "News from around the world!" to something like "News that have international relevance".... otherwise we can't really scold people who post curiosity stories.
He said “Well thats what it says in the textbook so I have to mark it wrong”
The mark of a great teacher. It's nice however that he had the patience to wait for your experiment (or maybe he was expecting it to fail miserably?): no prof of mine would have went along with something like that (not to mention, I'm pretty sure we couldn't take apart the lab PCs at our leisure).
Rasperry PIs have micro-HDMI outputs, so you can use those (with an appropriate cable/adapter) to hook the PI to any monitor (or to your TV) for the initial setup (you'll also need a keyboard and - possibly - a mouse). After that, you can unplug everything and use the raspberry pi without keyboard/monitor/mouse (pi hole has a web interface).
Note that you don't strictly need a raspberry pi to run pi hole: any old x86 PC or a cheap thin client bought on ebay will do just as well (actually, they will most probably perform better).
Besides snapper itself, you'll have to setup triggers to automatically take snapshots before/after running dnf, generate the appropriate boot menu options and reorganize your btrfs subvolumes so that everything that should not be rolled back (eg /var, /root, /srv, ...) is in a different subvolume than /...
Honestly, if I were you I'd just give opensuse a try instead: I came to tumbleweed from fedora, and it's basically the same, solid thing (only, without the new version drama twice a year).
Well, the simplest way to go if you want opensuse-like rollbacka would be to just run opensuse... if you need ubuntu-specific stuff (you don't) there's distrobox.
BTW I've been running tumbleweed for a few years now and didn't roll back once... IDK if the craze about rollbacks and immutable distros (arguments in favour of which often boil down to "easy rollbacks") is justfied or not.
There are a pletora of markown editors that have a split view w/ live preview (I used various - the one I currently have installed is Ghostwriter), but you can most probably get the same with your programmer's text editor (well, unless your text editing is done in the terminal) and, one way or another, you are not guaranteed that what you see is what will be displayed in github/gitlab/...
Chances are, your favorite text editor can handle markdown well enough... unless you want WYSIWYG, in which case your text editor would still be good enough for the job and you would be wrong :-)
I'd say install virtualbox on your windows, download a few isos and check them out; once you've made your mind on which one seems a decent one (don't worry too much: it's not like you can't change distro later on) and have found out replacements for all the apps you use (well, some of them will have a linux version too) save your windows data somewhere, format and reinstall.
I'd say to stay away from dual booting if you can: honestly, it's a pain.
Ah, check that your hardware works well on linux before switching!
RHEL ultimately comes from Fedora (plus Redhat has a great say in where Fedora is headed), so... RHEL won't become sort of an AIX or HPUX anytime soon.
That said, Redhat's move opens up the position of "enterprise-like distro for scientific/technical shops and other people who do their own support" (think, from CERN to small software houses) that so was the reign of RHEL clones (together with Ubuntu, of course).
Those are people who will probably never buy RHEL licenses for all their machines no matter what, so in a sense it stands to reason that RH doesn't care about them (if you think their move is about money rather than falling for the "value to the community" PR spin), but those same people are also trend setters whose choices, in time, trickle down to universities and then companies, and to me it looks like there's a huge opportunity there (and that Alma is currently in the best position to harvest from it in the long run).
Its funny how podcasters and commenters seem to have taken Redhat's spin about "contributing value to the community" seriously, while to the rest of us the whole thing was obviously only about money (same as all the follow-ups from other parties... I would say "including Alma" but that would probably deserve its separate debate).
The US have not signed the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, while Canada and most (all?) other western states have (Russia has not, BTW).
The peculiar stance of the US on this matter should not surprise since there are lots of international treaties that the US have not signed or ratified, including some that one might expect any "decent" nation to uphold [my opinion, of course], such as bans on anti-personnel mines and torture, the Kyoto protocol and many, many others treaties.
