I did run a similar test and there were no errors detected. Thanks anyway!

I can sudo. Last time I looked into this, Memtest86+ version 6 was required to work with UEFI but it wasn't available for Ubuntu 22.04. Now it seems that 24.04 has it, so I might update and see if I can get the test running. Thanks for the suggestion!

I can't run memtest unfortunately. The option isn't there and I don't have permission to boot from a USB stick.

I do have an interview scheduled, just saying...

It wouldn't affect boot though.

I just did that! Brilliant idea, thanks!

That's a good idea. If I can get it to boot today, I will check the logs, thanks!

It's not hard to reproduce, but it's annoying that when they finally came here to check it, no problems happened. I had to bug them so much to even get them to have a look.

I have already seen data having to be thrown away because the researcher copied and pasted it incorrectly from multiple spreadsheets and no one could tell what the correct data was anymore. No one should be doing this if they are responsibly doing "real analytical work".

You are completely right, and the Open Science movement is catching on. The idea is to give everyone access to the (anonymised) data and use only tools that are freely accessible, even to scientists from developing countries without Microsoft licenses, so that they too can rerun your analyses and verify your results. You shouldn't be getting downvoted.

Why is Arch with i3wm the only alternative to Windows? There are many other distros and desktop environments.

Which is funny because the original comment doesn't mention Linux or Arch at all.
