Considering pteron is greek and quad is latin, it should probably have been tetrapter. Which actually rolls off the tongue better.

No doubt, indeed. Just pointing out 400 is not unreasonable for xfce.

My xubuntu is at 380MB idling on the desktop. Also, thanks for making me check. I should probably disable snapd.

Looking at what the young uns are wearing these days (and the resurgence of mullets), I would put money on chest hair coming back within the next decade.

There’s many aspects of Solidworks that are CPU-bound. Worse, they’re only utilising a single core. It’s ridiculous for 2024.

Desktop vs laptop doesn’t matter much for any given CAD software. Just make sure you hit the recommended specs.

There’s truth in this, but also caveats. I work with a bunch of mechanical engineers. In the warmer months, while working on really complex drawings, they need to take frequent breaks.

It’s because laptops are designed to be compact, by sacrificing airflow. So when they run anything heavy, the CPU would heat up and start throttling itself.

On a desktop, easily solved by slapping on a semi-decent cheap cooler. On laptops, well, you take frequent breaks.
