  • Everyone falls in one of three categories: Exempt, Excepted, Non-Excepted.

    Exempt people are expected to come to work normally and they are paid normally. They probably don’t really see a change.

    Non-Excepted people are furloughed. They were sent home Wednesday morning and will wait it out doing whatever they’d like and they will get all wages that were missed when everything is over. They will be paid for doing nothing.

    Excepted people have the worst of both worlds. They have to come to work because they’ve been deemed critical but won’t get paid for it until its over. I’m in this category. I’m doing my job but im taking my time to accomplish anything.

    The law that governs this is the “Government Employee Fair Treatment Act” of 2019.












  • I ran POP-OS for about six months a couple of years ago and ended up switching back to Windows because there were too many compromises. Recently I tried it again with the same problems but jumped to Bazzite instead. It fixed most of my issues but I didn’t like the limitations imposed by the guardrails it put in place to make things easy. I then switched to Fedora since that is Bazitte’s base and haven’t looked back. The only issue I’ve had is the video drivers didnt install right automatically but the fix was three well documented commands.
