78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.Mike Judge

Last night, I set up the new workstation for my father-in-law. He was using a roughly 10-year-old computer with Windows 10 and an old monitor. It has been replaced by an Intel N150 MiniPC and this HP monitor, which was on sale at the shopping center near his house.
The total cost for the setup shown (excluding headphones but including the monitor) was 240 euros.
It's running openSUSE Slowroll, which I'll update occasionally when we visit him.
He started working and exclaimed, "It's super fast!"
You don't need a lot of money to have a valid and performant workstation, especially if you choose the right OS.
My only regret is not being able to use one of the BSDs, as none of them were perfectly supported by the MiniPC.

I don't understand why #QCad is not very popular in the Linux community. It has a free, GPL version that is way more put together than LibreCAD. In fact, LibreCAD is a fork of QCad from the late 2000s. QCad has way more features now, and most are free.
Sure, there's FreeCAD too, but that's more about 3D CAD, and it's more difficult to learn & use. QCad is a good starter 2D Cad/Cam, especially if you're coming from #AutoCAD 's UI.

@os_sci Like I've said, I haven't looked into it. I assume that the core is GPL. Standalone plugins are getting installed. Since these are stand alone, they aren't a derivative and don't have to be GPL licensed.
Disclaimer: I'm not willing to look further into it to be able to go deeper at this point 🙃
Needed to unpack a 50GB pst (Microsoft proprietary mailbox file)
On #windows: ten billion apps installed, all free/spy ware, none works how it should.
#Linux:
sudo dnf install readpst

Every day I feel windows ecosystem is full of crap, the enshitification is real, and I can only feel the users are the frog in the pan.
The linked article is from a Windows user’s perspective, moving to Linux. The timing is good as many are faced with working hardware, but which is not compatible for Windows 11.
ZorinOS is an Ubuntu-based distro, meaning there are tons of support and advice on the Internet for anything that may need solving. It will also install and run most Windows software, using Wine (I seem to recall that is built in, so double-clicking on an EXE file, should just run).

They look great. I obviously get curious about the prompts too.
As a sidenote: your images are 25-30mb. Each. In most of the services where I can see your post I get served a lo-fi representation of the images. Only when I click the separate images do I get the full resolution and detail, however they are much larger than the screen size I have access to.
It would probably be a good thing to resize/compress images for social sharing in a controlled fashion, that does the images justice, and perhaps link off to the full-size images if that is what you wish to share. Just a thought.

Thanks, it's been loads'a fun so far! The prompts for txt2img can be quite finicky, that's why I've added in the LLM to serve as a translator from human to robot.
And thanks for the heads up on the size, I hadn't bothered to ever check if images get autocompressed on upload to here ...guess they don't.

What we really need, is to stop teaching IPv4 in all the networking schools. Every time I hear it brought up in an educational environment, it's done so under the assumption that it's dreadfully difficult to understand. Yes, it still needs to be known, but IPv4 can be learned on your own time. It's ""the old way"" now, the way your granddad did things. 😆
