For a media PC GNOME is goated, specifically their overview! One button on the “magic remote” mouse to easily switch between desktops, windows, control basic settings, and launch other applications is awesome. Generally prefer KDE and did choose it this time when reinstalling the media/coach-gaming machine, but really wish there was anything like GNOMEs overview on KDE.
(Yes, the Plasma overview is awesome, but you can’t launch new apps from it without typing).
Did my very first 3d print yesturday on my new Anycubic Kobra S1, and I’m very happy with going with the kombo. For the future or if you print a lot of multi-material I definetely agree, but being able to swap between 4 different spools without manual intervention is great, and considering it has a built in dryer the package deal felt like a no brainer. Just a decent seperate filament dryer seems to cost 100-200€.
For me the ability to do occasional multi-material prints is just a bonus!
Not sure how great it holds up today since it was a while ago I watched it last, but The Thing is for me still one of the best ones.
FreeCAD, but (from a pure usability perspective) OnShape is quite good if you just want something done (note my CAD usage is fairly limited).
