I tried this 15ish year ago with my parents, and the results were mixed. Windows wasn’t as egregious back then, with its spying and pre-installed garbage, but it did have a tendency to accumulate bloat over time. So my parents’ computer would get unusably slow after a couple years. I installed Ubuntu on their system and it solved the bloat problem. It lasted for years without slowing down. The issues they ran into were compatibility. They’d buy a new camera and the connection wouldn’t work. Or their friend would send them an attachment and there’d be no default viewer for the filetype. I suspect those issues have been mostly solved, but they’ve moved back to Windows and are running into the same bloat problems. Now they’re thinking of moving to apple.

I hadn’t heard of these, thanks for sharing!

I think maybe it’s “budget for aya neo”.

I think the radicle-explorer project handles the web interface. I have no idea whether it does pdf preview. It does seem to manage markdown tho.

Sorry I can’t be more help, I’m really new to it myself too. I just wanted to mention it because I think it’s a cool project.

I think radicle needs to get more love.

It’s probably not the best way to showcase your skills to a recruiter, but the tech itself is really interesting.
