But 3 years ago I tried Fedora on an Asus N56VZ and it's been flawless. Well, less issues than Windows anyway. That's my definition of flawless.
I will admit it's a bit of a hardware and distro lottery though.
However, I really miss my bedroom darkroom from when I was 16-19.
Sheets pegged over the window, rags taped roughly over the door edges. Good enough for B&W print with a red dull light, but still had to load my rolls inside a hot and sweaty duvet cover because otherwise the negatives would get clouded in my ghetto setup. A £20 used enlarger bought from the local classifieds, a rough bench built with planks and rough-cut legs, nails and glue.
Got some great prints. Not many. Miss those days. I still have my Olympus OM2SP, best Camera I have ever used.
There's something to be said for knowing you only have a limited number of shots, and using another roll will cost money and real effort to develop. Makes you stop and think, in my opinion.
On the flip side, my entire "career" with 35mm I got 4 prints that I still love uncritically. My digital career has given me about 50 that I am happy to pay to have printed and put on the wall.
I absolutely agree. If you feel a law is wrong, it is your absolute right to say so and demand change. This is the basis of all law and civilisation. The consensus of what is right-or-wrong is what makes a society.
Go for it.
The monetary and time cost is minimal, but the mental benefit is pretty damn good.
And even if such a conflict does arise, as it surely will somewhere, the text linked states that the controller and processor shall ensure that such a conflict does not exist. It does not say that "You can't do this because 'conflict of interest'", it just says those two roles will ensure there will be no conflict of interest. If you read all the guidance, you will see that the DPO is the most protected role. It has the least liability. The data controller and processor have their own responsibilities, from a liability pov.
Unless you are the business owner/executive, DPO, data controller and data processor...I can't see this being a conflict of interest. Ever.
