Typically I have a browser (Firefox), Blender for some 3D modeling, uTorrent, previously Plex (but wanting to move away from it to something like Jellyfin maybe), Microsoft Offjce products but mostly Word/Excel/PowerPoint, and I have Outlook on my work laptop but am used to using browser for email client as needed so thats not a huge priority if there isnt a good mail application. There are probably others but those are the most often or daily usage!

Thank you!
Ah okay that makes sense. I wasn't familiar with the term, but I've heard of bootloaders.
Oh that's interesting. So each time I login I could potentially load into a different styling as I choose?
Does a desktop environment really draw that much more resource than another?
I forget what GPU I currently have but I may be upgrading soon anyway so I'll be sure to keep that in mind for the purchase. That's the first big step: finding software to fit my needs as they come up but that can be piece by piece!
Gaming is not a high priority for me on the desktop, but the others I will keep in mind!
I suppose trial by fire can be a fast method of learning! Thanks for the response!
Thank you for the tips!
The "fixing every problem I run into" is what is making me apprehensive in the first place. I don't really have the time or energy to troubleshoot at home, especially being a pretty light user. Given enough time I feel I could figure things out, but I don't think they would be worth the effort since what I have now does work for me. I was just looking for the most convenient way to slide into it as opposed to making a switch and hitting a break wall if that makes sense.
I appreciate the advice! Thank you!
I've added it to the list for review! Thank you!
