3. She already uses some software and she probably would like something similar. Maybe look for alternatives or ways to run her choice of software on Linux?

• GIMP isn't the most user friendly software and I don't think it's the best choice for graphic design.
• Inkscape is good for vector graphics, but it's still lackluster compared to Adobe Illustrator.
• Krita is awesome for illustrations and digital art, but doesn't have too many graphic design features that I found.

Overall if she's going to use it in professional capacity, switching to Linux could be a risk.

There's even network connected tyres at this point.

Corpos froth at the mouth at the thought of being able to manage service information and lifecycle control.

It makes it safer and convenient for the workers as well.

Activision Blizzard games not being the same as old Blizzard games is the surprised Pikachu meme embodiment.

Proton is WINE on steroids, I haven't used it for a while, but ever since proton came out it's been a much smoother experience, at least for the sample size of me.

Fail2Ban is great and all, but Cloudflare provides such an amazing layer of protection with so little effort that it's probably the best choice for most people.

You press a few buttons and have a CDN, bot attack protection, DDOS protection, captcha for weird connections, email forwarding, static website hosting... It's suspicious just how much stuff you get for free tbh.

Likely they'll continue to do the same with gdpr, just make you click through a dark pattern agreement popup.
