I guess if the serious thing you’re doing is a CRUD app?

Tell that to YouTube and Spotify. Or astronauts on the ISS. Or anyone doing science really…

Machine learning and CV? Geospatial? Math in general?

It’s probably just that I got used to it with XFCE at some point. My main two concerns:

  • I love having the path in the navbar (and not have to Ctrl-L)
  • I don’t like having devices tucked behind “Other Locations” rather than in the sidebar

Otherwise, I find Nautilus much more aesthetically pleasing.



Server is meant for all users of a single server.

So, you could buy 1-3 individual licenses or the server license for 4+ users.


Really looking forward to running type checks with pre-commit. Mypy is just too slow with most code bases.

I have a pipeline that creates a PDF version with weasyprint: https://github.com/damienallen/cv


The market share and generally more tech savvy user base are probably discouraging.



Can’t speak to your exact machine but nowadays the license tends to be tied to the hardware.

If you are capable of manual partitioning then you should be able to reinstall Windows quickly if needed.


I would go with 16GB for the kinds of things you listed.

If you don’t need a 3.5in drive then I would go even smaller to a mini form factor. It will definitely save you money on electricity. I think it’s the main choice here.


I would go for refurb, business line SFF machines. Something like ThinkCentre or Optiplex. Specific form factor based on drive needs but the smaller you go the more power efficient. I have one on the bigger side (internal psu) that runs about 12W idle.

Just double check that it can handle hardware transcoding. Should fit right in your budget!
