Define "they," and you might answer your own concerns.

Haven't picked back up consistently learning Japanese in like 8 years, but it's a joy to feel the progress of learning such a vastly different language. I know enough Spanish that it'd be a waste to spend this gift on it.
I guess the most tactical option for me that's still interesting would be Arabic, because while I love the idea of knowing it, I don't think I'll ever give myself the time to learn it.
In real life, it would go:
Nancy: Of course! We need to-
Nancy and Steve: dfoi intd foruotm thhoe...
*awkward pause
Nancy and Steve: Go ahea-
*another awkward pause
Nancy and Steve: No, you go ahe-
For me, Will: It's when... Dustin: The characters in every scene... Max: Talk like... Steve: This.
There are too many characters, and the only way your audience can remember that half of them still exist is... Nancy: For them to start sharing lines.
Small world-view moment
Widespread application compatibility is there for Windows devices. Whatever they feel like they need to install at any point in the future, there's an unequivocally higher chance that they'll be able to get it if they're using a Windows device.
If they're specifically looking to get a PC, I'm assuming they're wanting more capability than what their phone can give them. So whatever that thing is, they will more than likely have more options using a Windows machine.
Without more information, I'm not recommending a Linux system in an absolute manner. I'm glad things worked out in your anecdote.
I'm all for a less voracious term by which to refer to ourselves, but it'd help if it were a little neater than "United Statesian."
Definitely a regional thing.
Most notably, the region of the United States in the Americas.
I'm a Windows hater, but I can't in good conscience recommend Mac because of the vendor lock-in, and I'm not going to recommend Linux to someone just needing a computer to use when they need it.
Let's not joke ourselves. I would, however, offer to install Enterprise LTSC and disable as much of the telemetry as possible. After that point, their privacy is in their own hands, but I'll offer as many tips as I can.
If they are even slightly technically inclined and I know them enough to know they are capable of any level of troubleshooting, I'd recommend Mint.
I've still got my first bass clarinet which is a Yamaha. Still plays great for what my dad paid for it.

To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity?
(lemmy.world)
I'm mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist.
I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen.
I wouldn't mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I'd definitely use it for log/output, since currently it's a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal.
What about y'all?

To put it plainly, I couldn't muster a single shit if Facebook ceased to exist.
Actually, I'd celebrate. The web can survive without being commercialized. It'd look much different, for sure. That's the point.
Edit: I'm not saying this isn't a super idealized fantasy that will never happen. I'm just saying I'd partake in that fantasy.
