Well, it is still better to get hit with a dozen Hiroshima-nuke-scale impacts than a single dinosaur-killer-scale impact.
Statistically, the majority of them should hit ocean anyway.

I just disable all that.
If I'm opening the Google app, it's because I want to search for something. If I'm searching for something, I'm busy right now and don't appreciate Google trying to distract me with other irrelevant crap.
Choose your network provider more carefully.
I miss hanging out at bookstores, with comfortable seating areas and coffee shops and maybe a quiet musician on weekends... met some really smart and educated people that way.
I recently wandered into an old Borders like that where I used to spend a lot of time years ago, which is now a Books-a-Million. It was like being in a K-Mart. Dirty, dimly-lit, product stacked randomly everywhere (including just left on stocking carts abandoned in the aisles), hot because they had the A/C set to barely run at all (everyone inside was sweating), all seating gone, the kitchen area just ripped out and bare plumbing left exposed, with hardly any staff or customers in there at all. The book selection was gutted down to be mostly romance, horror, manga and self-help. I guess that's what the few people still coming in buy.
It was pretty depressing.
Can it be done? Yes.
Can it be done in a reliable way that you can depend on to always just work when you need it? No.
If you are completely dependent on Adobe products for your livelihood, you should not plan to work exclusively on Linux.
Maybe if there was a controllable delay on the teleporter...
NOTIFICATION: Your boss has entered the teleporter buffer. Allow materialization? [YES] [NO] [ASK ME AGAIN LATER]
The portion of managers which don't actually contribute anything to productivity don't have much to do if everyone is at home.
You leave a voicemail by calling someone that doesn't answer.
Blocking the call at your phone is just not answering.
Use something like Google's Call Screening that actually answers numbers not in your contacts so they don't get the opportunity to leave a voicemail.
That's essentially what Call Screening does if the number has been reported as spam enough times.
By the time enough longevity data has been collected to be really useful, obsolescence is becoming a factor. And even if the same model number is still being sold, the hardware inside may have changed and all of the data may not be directly relevant.
Sticking with a reputable product line and assuming that past performance is relevant doesn't always help, either... I remember the ~~Deskstar~~ Deathstar drives fiasco, and got bit hard by it.
That's not a hurdle... that's a wall.
If your livelihood depends on running a Windows-only application, run it on a Windows computer.
You are, of course, free to also have a Linux computer for everything else. Use a KVM switch to toggle between them, or something like Synergy or Barrier to pass the mouse/keyboard/clipboard between both PCS. Share the storage between them over your network.
