Apparently one CAN make a living doing what many of use here do - being human search engine operators for other people's queries.
Pay is pretty sweet, too.

Well, one positive is that this job does not seem to require that I run Windows on my PC
The negative is that I still have to do things on Windows via Amazon Workspaces, and there my shiny new bluetooth trackpad is wonky every now and again. I was thinking it has crappy Linux support, but I then recalled I was running Workspace full-screen on both monitors, and once I popped into a normal desktop, it was fine.Comment

I didn't realize you were writing about a real job.
You can always run Win10 in a qemu+kvm vm, if your laptop is beefy enough.

Amazon Workspaces is just a remote virtualized Windows desktop (DaaS), no need to boot that dusty W10 install at all.
I imagine it is using Docker or something similar.
Pre-configured, software pre-installed, secured, etc etc.
We had moved to this sort of setup at Harbor Freight, though they had their own internal setup for remote PC desktops, not using a third party like Amazon.Comment
