Oh no, you!
I managed to skip the entire line at Ohare security screening by just walking past people waiting patiently while I repeated “sorry, plane is boarding, excuse me, boarding, pardon me…” etc. Nobody bothered objecting and got out of the way for me.
My incoming flight was delayed, and immigration took forever, so once it was time to get to my connection the plane had started boarding. After security I had to run, and I got to the gate just in time.

I remember back in the day, running Quake3 on linux provided better FPS than on windows. I haven’t compared the two since then on any game.
Is it still the case? And is this difference (mostly) there in other games too?
You have one per installed kernel. Not sure what (if any) automagic is common for removing old kernels, I guess this varies between distros, but at least on my computers, old kernel remain. At least the previous one, maybe more. It comes in handy in case a kernel upgrade breaks something, which it actually did recently on one of my laptops - makes it easier to boot from old kernel and revert.
EDIT: I just checked. I have just one on my daily driver. It’s quite new, and I don’t think I’ve had a kernel upgrade on that one, so it makes sense.
On my work laptop (the one with borked kernel upgrade) I have two.
So what you most likely have is one or more vmlinuz-version-numbers, and then simply a symlink named just vmlinuz to the version you boot from.
Short answer to your last paragraph:
vmlinuz is the kernel. It ends with z instead of x, because it’s z-compressed to save space. (I’ve heard that it’s possible to use an uncompressed kernel for that 1ms faster boot time)
Initramfs (not intramuscular, which my autocorrect thinks is appropriate) is a small filesystem blob, “initial ram filesystem”, meant to be loaded directly into ram to allow the kernel to talk to your hardware via drivers. It also has a lot of binaries needed to perform other tasks that need to run before the root filesystem is mounted.
Plural.
Can’t be arsed fixing that for you.

…because that is the state of a mainstream modern distro, and it’s not true of Windows anymore.

I would’ve liked to see him try mint instead. Less fluff, and hopefully that would’ve gone better for him.
Wtf would I care? It’s not Like I’m gonna have have office hours. Hungry? Dinner time!
I wish. It’s that small overlap between GenX and Millennial. I fall into both/neither category, depending on which definition you go by.
Scandinavian Xenial here. It’s been popular here for as long as I can remember.
Apart from the jetlag it’s not too bad, actually. I’ve had worse jobs that didn’t take me to the far corners of the world.
2k@120
I’m not that picky in terms of resolution, but I am when it comes to FPS.
But in all honesty, 2k@60 would be fine too.
