No-one wants to work anymore

Where can a Boomer catch up on current computer/software technology?

I have an eight-year-old laptop that needs replacing and I’m paralyzed. What are the most reliable ones now? Do I need a desktop for CAD? Pros and cons of operating systems (and where do I find them?) Browsers ditto? Where do I find answers that aren’t just product marketing?

just_ducky_in_NH,

Awesome, this is so helpful! I am somewhat crushed that I can’t practically escape Windows 11, that was a big goal for me.

just_ducky_in_NH,

You shouldn’t use any Chromium-based browser because allowing Google to have hegemony over web standards is bad for the Internet and society as a whole.

Preach it, brother!

just_ducky_in_NH,

Thank you for your input! I’m hoping to do some 3D work, but I have the same view as you of Windows’ future. I will have to determine what I can live with: ads in the OS or 2D CAD.

just_ducky_in_NH,

Good point!

just_ducky_in_NH,

That’s my concern. I appreciate the hands-on aspects of Linux, but I’m not sure I want to learn it.

just_ducky_in_NH,

Thanks, you gave me lots of good resources here!

just_ducky_in_NH,

My god, thank you!

just_ducky_in_NH,

Good tip on the plastic chassis, thanks!

just_ducky_in_NH,

Thanks!

just_ducky_in_NH,

I honestly don’t know. Some architectural stuff (ie a porch) and smaller mechanical assemblies (toys).

just_ducky_in_NH,

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I am not physically paralyzed; there are so many details to getting a computer system that I am suffering from “analysis paralysis“!

just_ducky_in_NH,

Good point. I live in a rural area whose librarians are enthusiastic but emphatically not trained. However, I live about 40 miles from a university; I could pop by there maybe.

just_ducky_in_NH,

Hey ho! Let’s go!

just_ducky_in_NH,

I’m so sorry. It must be hard.

just_ducky_in_NH,

Thank you for sharing! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who gets brain farts!
