I’m trying to build a workstation for my wife who is a graphic design by trade. She has only ever used Window so I thought that this would be a great way to introduce her to Linux. I just have some questions about getting this project off the ground.
-
Am I better off buying a cheap, prebuilt desktop and adding some extra parts like a GPU and more memory or building it from the ground up?
-
For a distro, I was thinking about Linux Mint but would other distros be better options?
-
Other than GIMP, what are some essential software for graphic design and digital art on Linux?

First check out what alternatives there are to the stuff she’s running on Windows. Then install them and check if she’s willing to test them for a comparison. Ultimately, she’s the customer and she has to be convinced to use the new stuff.
