Linux is great, I switched all my personal machines because I was fed up with all the crap they do.
And what can I say? It's just a better OS. The only reason to still use windows is because of software that's made for it and doesn't run well on linux yet.
The behaviour you want is called "dead keys" and the layout knows which keys should work like that.
If you want the old behaviour back, you need to do the following: Download MSKLC (Microsoft keyboard layout creator) from microsoft's website, install and open it and then go to File->Load existing layout and then select the danish one.
Then double click the accent key to open the popup, which includes a checkbox to make it a dead key.
Then compile and install the layout. I don't remember where exactly that button is but you'll find it. If it doesn't work first try, make sure that you change the name of the layout on the second try. Windows is a buggy mess and if you reuse names, it will break sooner or later and you'll find yourself with layouts that cannot be removed anymore.
You can also set a few other things in the layout like shiftlock, but as I said windows is a buggy mess so doing that will almost certainly break something.
You're storing unencrypted data on google drive with those backups, so they scan all of your chats. Whether they just look for malware/CSAM or people manually look through your chats is something you'll never know.
But what makes ubuntu better as a first distro than mint or fedora? It installs snaps even when you specifically invoke apt, a new user who doesn't understand the messages will press yes, see that it seemed to work and have issues later that can scare them away from linux.
What I'm trying to say is that we should bash the people still recommending ubuntu.
Control is 10$ in a steam sale, so you'll probably get it for a similar price. It switches between an incredible atmosphere and chaotic combat, definitely worth playing imo.
Yes, I even ran every character through unicode search to make sure that none of them are different characters than what I thought. All of them were ASCII.
Meanwhile microsoft's exchange online can't even prevent attackers from spoofing microsoft.com as the sender. I nearly got caught by a fake quarantine notification once. The thing that made me suspicious was that the fake login page only took a second to load. The real one is never that fast.
The entire quarantine BS is trying to reinvent the wheel of the spam folder and causes a shitload of headaches for our internal IT.
I've made the opposite experience. There were loads of snap-specific issues when I used ubuntu. So many that I now recommend not using ubuntu just because of snaps.
I just use hacker news for tech stuff. If an article on there is BS, you can be sure that someone will call that out in the comments after about 5 minutes. And if not, there's almost always a good discussion with very few insults.
This part is hard but you need to push yourself through it. The worst thing that can happen is that no conversation develops and you have to do it again.
Another favorite of mine is walking around to see what different groups are talking about. If there's a topic that you know about, just ask them if that's indeed the topic of the conversation and if it is, you just joined.
It's already back to working for me (frankfurt data center) and I was able to order my new deck.
