Or take a selfie, that’ll generate a picture of an ape!

Agreed, the professor’s mouth and eyebrow should be flipped around.

If it was enough for you to write down then it’s enough to work on not giving a fuck about

That’s a great question, on the face of it I can’t find very much info online. Wikipedia has an entry for monotype but not hybrid. The page ‘hybrid font’ does not exist. If anyone has more info please feel free to tag me, I’d love to know.

If you want problems do the exact opposite of this OP. That should solve your lack of problems.

I’ll hold your shape. 😏

Adobe’s licensing model is also a paper sack of hot liquid shit. If you’re gonna switch to an alternative it might as well work on Linux.

As a sysadmin I would try making the PC’s hypervisors and syncing a VM? Might be over engineered but I think it would work.

That’s all fine and dandy but OP said they’re not very technical. Conceptually Virtualbox is a lot simpler to deal with. There’s a lot of advantages (philosophical and practical) to be had with a KVM or QEMU setup for sure, but if you want a simple to understand click-it-together setup then Virtualbox is better. If OP wants to graduate to a better setup then I hope they go for a good FOSS solution eventually but going straight for the deep end is rarely a good idea if you want people to understand what they’re doing.

That depends, if you’re going to run a barebones W10 install with what amounts to a word processor I think 2GB should be enough. If you can run Chrome you can run a VM. 4GB if you’re feeling generous, that’s a fair compromise as compared to the disadvantages of dual booting.

Provided your CPU has virtualization features (described here) then the performance overhead for virtualization is negligible. So very probably you’ll be fine.

The latter thing you mentioned would work, but you can set up some shared storage between the VM and your machine. Here is some more info: https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-create-virtualbox-shared-folder-access/

This describes a Windows host and a Linux VM, I’m sure you’ll be able to figure out the other way around. :)

The upside is you can treat it as just another program with a big flat file that serves as it’s hard disk. You can move a VM between computers, they’re universal. Hell you can move it to a data center and hardly notice a difference. You can make a snapshot, try something out, and if it borks, roll it back to a previous snapshot. You can copy the VM any number of times.

Basically it decouples operating systems from hardware so you can treat a computer like software.

Does that screenwriting software require a lot of performance? You might opt to install Windows into a virtual machine, as described here: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-setup-windows-10-virtual-machine-linux

Essentially you’re using some software to emulate a computer inside your computer that can run any operating system you want. It doesn’t need to touch your actual operating system installation, you can treat it as just another program. For your use case that sounds appropriate; you occasionally need to run specific software that has low system requirements. This way you can do that without risking Microsoft borking your Linux machine any time it feels like it.

Old ThinkPads, the poor man’s Framework.

Fun fact: Decimation is originally a Roman practice. It’s a form of punishment where every tenth man in a group was executed by members of his cohort.

The bastard Jack Welch implemented this as a business practice with a sanitized name: rank your team, fire the worst 10%, even if the team did great.

Shareholders cheered at this practice. They bought shares in droves when businesses literally decimated themselves. Shareholders are mostly glorified gamblers with a boner for hardship. Making employees suffer is just dandy, as long as it can be sold as an improvement.

My point is that shareholders usually don’t know wtf they’re doing. This doesn’t surprise me.

Personally I think growth is a tainted metric. For a capitalist enterprise focused on shareholder value it might be worth something (although you could argue that’s what turned the corporate Internet to shit in the first place). Steady ingress and egress of users is fine IMO. We don’t need growth, we just need stability.

Oh look it’s me! Back to gray.

Super relaxed, that comes with the territory of not giving a fuck. Also I make good money.
