In regard to any custom PC, absolutely Linux runs on most hardware.

Adobe, and word aren’t written native to Linux, there are solutions such as wine that can help, or you can dual boot or use a virtual machine

They meant better than what MS is doing. Basically Linux would be choice one, but failing that get a Mac. Until they go the same direction.

It does! It’s usually pretty good at figuring it ont to. Though I only use it with non-destructive commands

In Ontario / Canada it’s pretty much that. G1 - written test split between signs and road laws but you can only drive with another licensed driver of 5 years experience or more and can’t drive highways

G2 - driving test, low speed no highway. You do basic driving procedures (reverse, parallel, 3 point turn) I imagine doing a roundabout depends on where you live, but where I am they’re not close by so it’s not included.

G - same as above and then you boot down the highway for an exit.

TBH, passing is not hard in the slightest. And that’s improved from what used to be the 365 - you do a test get a license, drive for a year and do a road test after.

I’m not sure what field you’re in and photoshop certainly is the standard but Affinity has been great for my needs and is pay once if you’re looking to avoid SAAS

On the support side, there are enterprise distros (red hat) but the community support honestly is top notch. I know windows has support but I’ve never really needed it day-to-day or had a situation where having access to support on Linux really would have been helpful.

Development side - I find Linux outpaces windows for what I do, plus a number of tools are just built in. Plus Jetbrains IDEs are Java anyway and run fine there.

Browsing, i assume you mean the web? This is functionally identical.

I personally like Linux cause it’s tracker-free and more customizable. I prefer ZSH to power shell and I like that my desktop and server are running the same platform preventing strange bugs between environments.

I have this problem quite often, specifically I'll frequently decide I won't like something before I even try it, even if historically I've had enjoyment from it.

Often I just force myself to start, sometimes that's setting a line in the sand "I'm going to watch YouTube until 15:00 and then we're going to do X" other times is physically forcing myself (setting alarms, sleep timers, etc..)

I don't really have a magic bullet unfortunately beyond "Just do it" but honestly getting over the hump is 99% of the problem.

That’s just cause of acidity, I’ve made sauces in mine and it’s been fine.

Absolutely excessive but it appears they at least used it mostly correctly to emphasize key areas.

I don’t disagree but we’re talking in terms of a hobby, I have things I want to improve (chess, game dev) and things I don’t care about (baking, guitar, doodling ) the latter are honestly just time fills when my brain needs something that isn’t stressful or challenging.

oh absolutely, this is purely a thought experiment of course.

Just thinking at a high level, an infinite number of monkies should hypothetically almost instantly produce Shakespeare (or at least as quickly as they can type)

Conversely, 1 monkey would eventually produce it given infinity time.
