I got offered low level management or redundancy.

Took the "promotion", with a slight pay hike, and now I'm spending the extra money on counselling for stress and anxiety.

All while watching the industry I work in spiral downwards after an artificial COVID years high.

Bike shops are awash with innuendo. Part of the fun of working in them.

You could have asked him what he wanted first, if anything at all?

customizable and configurable

Whatever you think of OPs proposed use case is definitely falls under the above.

It's this kind of 1337 h@xor approach to the OS that makes people feel like it's unapproachable when that's so far from the reality these days.

"I've seen this one before!"

Fair enough!

I've done some blindingly stupid things with my installs in the past, and I'm not angling to try any in the near future - I guess I'll just embrace the reinstallation game!

"Accidentally threw it away" really sounds more like "threw it away, didn't have a backup, he now regrets throwing it away".

Dread to think what his solicitor is making by allowing this delusion to continue (unless he's representing himself in which case...fair enough I suppose). I've been reading about this man for years it seems like.

I have an old notebook which I've been toying with a few smaller distros on (typically easy to install, liveCD types), and while I enjoy the tinkering aspects of this, I had a thought that I've been mulling.

In the past I've run distributions based on larger, better supported, systems (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, etc.) and if or when they have folded, like crunchbang did, or PeppermintOS (however briefly), I just changed them out.

However, if I were to go back to peppermintOS, say, would it be feasible to 'convert' the system to the parent distribution? So, could I force peppermintOS to 'become' Debian, for example? Or is this overly simplistic? It's a level of engagement with my operating systems that I just haven't had!

By what logic? Unless you think that participating in the electoral process at all makes you complicit in the outcome whatever it is this doesn't really tally.

Maybe they just want to objectify you for a bit, if you're in Spandex?

I assume that's the case when I cycle in rural areas in Spandex.
