I’m trying to build a workstation for my wife who is a graphic design by trade. She has only ever used Window so I thought that this would be a great way to introduce her to Linux. I just have some questions about getting this project off the ground.
-
Am I better off buying a cheap, prebuilt desktop and adding some extra parts like a GPU and more memory or building it from the ground up?
-
For a distro, I was thinking about Linux Mint but would other distros be better options?
-
Other than GIMP, what are some essential software for graphic design and digital art on Linux?
Don’t mess with her workflow. The apps, drawing tablets, printers maybe - all need to be well supported, like for like swaps - or she won’t be your wife for very much longer.
