Is linux easy to adapt to compared to MS
Before you try moving to Linux, make a list of applications types that you need. IE word processing internet browsing, media playing and so on. Open (Apache) office will cover most of your needs, unless you need the macros in Windows word. Internet is easy, and linux has most of the good comon browsers ( can even import all your settings from your cloud backups). Email could be alittle more difficult depending on what you use now. There are quite a few media players, most are free. Open office can be set up to read and save documents in word format, and once done is simple to use. There will be some initial difficulties getting used to Linux , but you will be fine very quickly.

TM30 needed for new passport?
I recently had a new passport, and on return to Thailand, went and did a new TM30 . Was it really needed? not sure. I did it so there would be no problems when it came time to do the next visa extension. One less thing to go wrong.

Help needed please!
Major point to consider.. Do not click on any link provided in the "warnings". This is a typical scam method.. Out dated drivers have no bearing on the performance of AV software. As has been stated previously, remove the software from the PC, and you should have no more warnings.

Recebt front tooth extraction - what next?
I had a front tooth extracted by the dentist in my town , and after 2 weeks for the gum to settle, I had a denture made. It has a thin metal back for strength, and less bulk. Yes its a bit annoying at first , but at least you can talk and eat and it gives you time to sort out other options.

Tipping
My Wife does the paying, sometime she will tip if the service was good, and the servers were fun otherwise no.. I paid for a meal in one place, and noticed that there was 40baht too much change. I brought it to the attention of the owner, and he said its OK, I have lots of money.. He is a funny guy, no tipping needed there.

90 days report for family
One TM30 can list all in the house hold, sometimes you get one receipt for 4 people, sometimes individual receipts. Just make sure you have a copy of the TM30 with receipts (I did any way, better to have too much paperwork than not enough).

Going to Thailand for Surgery help with TM6
Its a proposed date of implementation, I wouldnt worry about it as it more than likely wont be working in 4 months time. And yes if you are coming Visa exempt, you will be allowed in for 60 days. Its not worth getting upset by something like the TM6, or ETA.. Just keep your eyes open for it, and fill in the required information.. (No-one knows what is required as yet)

Help me understand: Delegating devices to remain online when the grid goes down
The whole system depends, on how many panels you have, and that can depend on the battery and inverter you are using. The are trying to get you to work out what is essential to keep running, so those will be powered in the event of a power outage. Remember solar panels dont work at night so no charging. The more appliances you want to run will mean more panels, more batteries and bigger inverter. Could they hook up the house to the inverter?? Yes they could, but it may be at the inverter limit, and it will drain the batteries quickly. Aircon at night will be a big load.

Shipping an E bike from UK to Thailand.
The import duties will be very high more than likely, and with the hassles of dealing with shipping/ customs, would it be worth it?? Cut your losses, sell the bike in the UK and get something similar locally.
