Prefer metric. So much easier conversions. However, it is hard for me to think long distances and weight in terms of metric, on the fly, and ambient temperature.

Also a lot of tools are still in “standard” so have no choice but to use it.

The way apple is now, you would only be able to print (wirelessly) through Apple products. And probably also DRM ink cartridges on a “security” basis.

Old Apple is not the same as current Apple.

Like others have said, I don’t think its needed to get a job but it does help in two ways:

1. More passive. It let’s you expand your resume/CV to give more detail etc since you aren’t restricted on size/length. This can also be done with a personal website

2. More active. It can help you network which is honestly the biggest advantage to getting a job, but also the most work.

I personally do not use it like social media. I don’t see the point of posts, more just a messaging service if and when I need it.

Can also check out Nextcloud. Yes, its more overkill than just calendar and contact sync but its not that hard to set up and self-host. It has an interface for you to fix your calendar and contacts graphically and works well with DAVx5, if on Android. Believe you can just add the CalDav and CardDav for iOS, but have not tried it personally.

I think you’ll be OK but there will be a slightly learning curve since it is a different OS. As for documents make sure they work well with either LibreOffice or OnlyOffice, which should be available on other OSes. There are also always online office suites if needed.

If you have a spare flash drive, you can also test out Linux distros (flavors) before installing them in a live mode, like a demo.

Best of luck.
