Things have changed a lot since I last bought a PC.
I am fed-up with Windows, so am moving to Linux. Not sure this spec will work with it, so looking for insight. Have also tried to future proof it.
Uses coding, music, video watching, BOINC projects, running VM and admin.
Comments and advice welcome.
