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's even network connected tyres at this point.

Corpos froth at the mouth at the thought of being able to manage service information and lifecycle control.

It makes it safer and convenient for the workers as well.

Anime games maybe? Stuff like Hyperdimension Neptunia isn't hentai, but I could definitely see someone getting bullied over it

Hyprland has an option of forwarding any hotkey to an application, essentially allowing for global hotkeys in all apps, including Discord for which it doesn't work normally.

Nowadays there's a lot of good alternatives for everything, including windows hello for any password prompt

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.

They're absolutely going to make it available only in the EU unless other countries also push for it with legislation.

It's also going to have a lot of scary "Are you sure u want to compromise your safety?" boxes.

Eating vegetarian food can be much cheaper than going for meat, so it makes sense.

Because it's Zuckerberg free and has some actually good features like custom stickers.

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.

How's nix for gaming?

I'll be switching from manjaro soon, kind of at the crossroads between arch and nix
