Well today, I got the results of the first of the finals I've done so far this year and passed it. So just 2 bits more to complete and this degree is in the books ...
I got my brother's laptop to repair. He hasn't used it for more than a year (he doesn't like computers) but needs it now the Tax office went all digital. His Windows is all f**ked up. Could not get it running. Linux Mint didn't work either. Could not boot anything. Finally after much persistance, I got Ubuntu started on the machine Happy that I still know how to reactivate a broken computer. He'll have to get used to Linux now, but maybe for the better. He doesn't have to worry mallware as much anymore.
