I have already switched after arch out of nowhere disabled ipv4. I tried using fedora atomic but the lack of non-free software just didn’t work for me (blender + hybrid NVIDIA graphics). I am using bazzite for a week or two and so far so good.

3d heavy modeling

Depending on the program of choice to go with AMD over NVIDIA will heavily impact your performance as cuda is better optimized than rocm. For me rocking rtx3060 it was hit or miss. It mostly depends on the distro if they choose to package the NVIDIA drivers out of the box. Some distros value freedom over usability. Right now I am daily driving bazzite and I am happy with it. For drivers its self I didn’t notice any major issues.

From your convoluted explanation I assume you have one PC already and you want to upgrade. I would just get a new one for work stuff and old one set up as “light work” as you put it or hook up to the TVs

Thanks, I have done exactly that. (root password)

Thank you

https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/2795 there are binary blobs in ventoy. idk if it can be trusted.

The user in the screenshot not the OP

I was collabing on a game with an artists (godot + git) and they just used the github gui for windows and it worked great. They just made art in their program of choice and drag and drop into the folder. They clicked push button and it worked for a game jam.

After trying couple of keybords (mostly AnySoftKeyboard and TypeWise [proprietary]) I have settled on Unexpected Keyboard due to easy switch of keybords to get to japanese keyboard and tts button.

There’s a website for all your 1337 hax0r needs hackertyper.net

Can you explain a bit what did you do?

How is cycles in viewport behaving?

For blender nvidia gpu is a the best for cycles as it has optiX support.

If she does ONLY modeling and uses eevee renders without viewport previews then integrated graphics could work.

If she wants viewport preview then dedicated GPU is a must. IDK how fares AMD gpu in blender as I didn’t have one for years.

Some gaming laptops with dedicated GPUs need external kernel modules just to work if they even have one.

My best bet would be to go for old gaming laptop.

My second best bet would be to go for system76 as they have some gaming laptops

I have rebooted into recovery mode and after connecting to a network it seems that with some warnings, it begun upgrading.

You can use windows in indefinite trial version with Activate Windows watermark. Grab a windows iso from the website. Put it on USB stick (I use Ventoy). And install. I would keep windows bootlaoder and grub on separate partitions.

Can you downgrade the network to older standard?

It would seem that there isn’t easy way to do it on windows. You would need to RE and write the drivers yourself.

There is a accessibility setting to disable touchpad when typing. You could try to hack into it to disable your mouse.

From quick look at it I don’t think it possible

Anki for vocab
Textbook for grammar
Immersion for everything else

Also input and output are two different skills.

What distro and DE are you using?

You could try: https://transportr.app/

As far as I can see you could try to attach 1 ssd to SATA0 (it can dangle in the air) and 2 hard drives to SATA1 and SATA2 (They are capped to 300MB/s and should be attached to the case with screws)

There should be space somewhere to put the drives as I can see in the specification. You will probably need to remove the CD drive.

There is also a question if power supply has enough power sockets to attach to the disks. You could try to find eSATA -> SATA adapter to attach something to the last port.

You probably won’t find the bigger case as motherboard isn’t standard size.

I would probably try to upgrade to standard motherboard size but I would also calculate the cost of consumed electricity in a year vs cost of more efficient hardware.

2 internal hdds

As I understand the PC case is some sort of small form factor and the motherboard has more SATA ports to plug in disks.

If that’s the case then try to find old pc case in the dumpster or from a neighbour. It should have more space for disks.

Some PCs 15 years ago had incompatible layouts so be a little cautious but gratis is a fair price.
