Git is a distributed VCS just like fossil. GitHub never has been an integral part of it; it's just the most popular hosting option. This is like saying you're glad you're using Firefox because everyone complaining that Twitter is down is using Chrome.

Even if you do just GitHub for hosting you can, on account of it being distributed, still work and commit code.

Even more boring, you do need a license.

Depends on if you're a tits or an ass guy, I guess?

Is moving the drive to another computer as a secondary drive an option? Or put it in a separate USB enclosure? That way you don't need to boot it at all, unless it's encrypted or something.

If the idea was to shit on the class that was born right around 9/11, graduated during a global pandemic, and who is going to have to deal with both out of control climate change and AI taking their jobs, then it was executed beautifully. Otherwise it was extremely tone-deaf.

You haven't lived until you've installed Slackware from floppy disks and compiled the necessary network drivers into the kernel by hand. Good times, but never again.
