    1. If you buy a used office desktop, it can be worth it to just put in a GPU. You have to know what you’re looking at though. Some prebuilds include stuff like custom motherboards or PSUs that are very hard to upgrade or make it impossible to install a GPU. Otherwise DIY is cheapest.

    2. Debian is very stable, good for professional use.

    3. She already uses some software and she probably would like something similar. Maybe look for alternatives or ways to run her choice of software on Linux?

    • GIMP isn’t the most user friendly software and I don’t think it’s the best choice for graphic design.
    • Inkscape is good for vector graphics, but it’s still lackluster compared to Adobe Illustrator.
    • Krita is awesome for illustrations and digital art, but doesn’t have too many graphic design features that I found.

    Overall if she’s going to use it in professional capacity, switching to Linux could be a risk.






  • There is no registry in Linux so there can’t be a registry editor.

    Hardware panels and task managers do exist (and they come in more windows-like distros), they’re just different to Windows ones. I do concede that hardware management in Windows is much easier.

    Task manager for Windows absolutely blows though. It doesn’t show real data, just estimates that sometimes are wildly wrong.

    You are literally describing cryptocurrencies in the last paragraph.

    Why would it need to be wireless? You can just place it connected to the wall. That’s literally a mining rig. You let companies and people use your processing power (or storage in some cases) for a fee (the mined coin).

    I think this may be the perfect description for Web3 tbh.

    It’s fucking obnoxious, especially working in the tech industry. Hearing the French pronounce things like “Python”, “Java”, “JBoss”, “WildFly” etc for prolonged periods of time was just plain painful.

    Don’t know if that was just at my company, but first conversations were wild and at first I thought we were using some in house produced software.

    Fail2Ban is great and all, but Cloudflare provides such an amazing layer of protection with so little effort that it’s probably the best choice for most people.

    You press a few buttons and have a CDN, bot attack protection, DDOS protection, captcha for weird connections, email forwarding, static website hosting… It’s suspicious just how much stuff you get for free tbh.

    That’s a very cool feature, had no clue about it!

    If it doesn’t have any visible downsides, it’s be nice use it whenever possible. This should provide the additional benefit of having the imports clearly separated.

    The tediousness aspect of it makes me wonder though. I’d probably just only use it when I’m specifically importing something only for typing .

    Maybe could be a cool feature request for an lsp as well.
