Why is Kc of the self ionization of water the ionic product of water if the concentration of water is not 1

I am aware that the convention is that since water is used as a solvent, its molarity (being 55.5 M) vastly outweighs those of the other molecules present, so the concentration is essentially constant, and therefore due to this effect we substitute it with 1 to simplify the math

But I've seen some resources state that the self ionization of water has the equilibrium constant itself equal to the ionic product of water? Isn't that just wrong? I mean I assume that the value of 55.5 M is either negligible or irrelevant in this context, but is there any reason they present Kc as EQUAL to Kw? Just convenience?

How are my grades for DP1? I am nearing the end of the third semester

For context, I am in DP1, and I'm about to finish my last semester. I have a unit test and a final left for each subject.

The screenshots are labeled by subject. Do keep in mind for the Chem SL, there is a 1 near the end. Discard it as it is a glitch and my teacher forgot to evaluate it

I recently completed both a Physics and Business Management unit test, which I likely bombed (at BEST a 4)

I got a 28 in my first semester, a 32 in my second, and I'm nearing the end of my third.

Let me know if you need more context to evaluate. Assume a roughly uniform distribution for the weights of the grades

How feasible is it to move over from Windows?

Hello. I've been recently planning to switch to linux once I upgrade my laptop. I've been thinking of using the Omarchy linux distro (a distro based on arch https://omarchy.org/).

I feel like I'll end up mostly just transferring over files that are cross-compatible. However some of my folders have tons of windows-specific stuff like dll files or executables that only work with Windows

I also have things that are redundant, like neovim (omarchy comes with neovim preinstalled).

I'm not sure how smooth-sailing it's gonna be, but any tips on how to move over (once I save my user folder in a drive?). Anyone know how feasible it'd be?

Edit: People are recommending I choose a more well-established distro like mint or fedora. Will do

Came across the dirac comb, and wikipedia uses the cyrillic letter Sha (Ш) to denote it. I found it really cool, but I was wondering if this is a relatively common convention in DSP and other Engineering contexts or is more specialized notation. Is it at least common if not standard?
