My 4 generation i7 4g desktop is still fine to do that. Lol.

I won’t use that pc for complicated scanned un-optimisted scene though.

Since lots of ppl already cover laptop different options, i will skip this part.

Blender is a huge topic. What exactly does your wife exactly do? Something like sculpting, rigging don’t need much gpu power. How complicated the scene is it? For a complicated scene with un-optimisted mesh, it can be expensive. The most expensive part should be high quality rendering. But you can use render farm to “outsourcing” jobs to remote hosts.

Also, it’s 2024. Ww can already launch and run blender remotely thru vm and streaming technology smoothly.

Keep in min that this sw only supports x, not w/ Wayland. Chk the ticket for detail

Plz keep us update on your thoughts, progress, etc. There has very few posts on this topic.

Lots ppl nowadays don’t even own a pc or mac. The market shares already prove lots of ppl can live without desktop. Unless your family need to use complicated softwares like cad, compilers… My point is most ppl do consider their phone and tablet just work. And those two’s maintenance are a lot simpler. Of course, your family, your choice.

I saw an emergency btn in grapheneos. Never use it.

Or we can just decrease the importance of desktop. Users like mobile more. So I just self host stuff and offload data and apps to my server. Thin client (desktop/laptop/mobile/tablet) + thick server.

I still like https://vikunja.io/ more because they has Gantt chart which is a super rare feature for modern project management sw.

You may be surprised. Blender + plugin.
