My dad is a complete tech noob. I took his laptop, installed Ubuntu, configured everything and showed him where he could find the applications he uses. Done.

Currently after work: Sitting outside with a drink of my choice, reading Neuromancer. Shit calms me down.
You know what gets ppl to use Linux? 100% Software compatibility out of the box and OEM who preinstall Linux distros.
Barely anyone outside the bubble oft techies and enthusiasts cares. You have to BRING it to the users. For most oft them comfort is king after all.
Honestly, when it comes to your specified amount of Cores & RAM you’ll have tough luck. Got myself a MiniPC with 5700U and 32GB of RAM, two 1TB SSDs (mirrored) and 3 NIC but that was still 500€ after waiting for a decent deal.
Even buying a used PC off eBay will most likely cost far more if you insist on your specs.
I do this, too on my hobby projects. Back when Twitter was still usable one post like this (only pictures) suddenly had 14k interactions. Until then I didn’t even realize people can be into wire management.
I only have a touch screen for entertainment and configuration and still notice how distracted I get when I have to use it. No haptic feedback and multilayered menus are just a bad idea while driving.

Back in the days of my apprenticeship (Ausbildung) the company still had this whole storage of old CRT TVs. At some point the other apprentice and me had to get rid of all of them. This meant each of us grabbing one, carry it down 3 floors, load them onto the company’s VW T bus and unload at the recycling center.
No fun, one was so big and heavy I tripped and couldn’t get it off my myself. In hindsight I dont’t think this was within safety regulations, haha.
Introduces like this while having a cigarette in his mouth.
Ah, this again. Maybe we can start accepting other people’s use cases? (This goes both ways btw)
Sorry for being that guy but if possible you should always refrain from using Wifi for applications in production, safety and security. Too many known and unknown vectors to its reliability.
But yea, I get it. Most people don’t know the details and on the overall market most affordable devices and services for security systems are some semi-“smart” products which are simple to set up. The extra work and cost that come with professional equipment aren’t really appreciated, eapecially by those who don’t know any better.
Vermintide 2 Just not my kind of gameplay.
Dad allowed me to watch Species. Had to sleep in my parents’ bed that night. Mom was FURIOUS :D
