  • Mint is good. Fedora & KDE might be a good choice because of the customization. Could be a nice way for her to make her desktop her very own creative project that inspires her to learn more about her computer and how it works. Fedora is pretty damn snappy. dnf is really easy and she could just use discover or whatnot to install apps.

    Help her rice up her desktop a bit and show her how to install some programs. Maybe bookmark some tutorials for different programs you install and the OS of your choice.

    Blender, kdenlive, krita, gimp, inkscape, strawberry for music, libreoffice, vlc, supertuxcart etc…

    Then turn her loose and let her have fun.

    You might be using the AUR and don’t even know it. The Chaotic AUR repository might be enabled and i think it is enabled by default on garuda.

    The chaotic aur is a bunch of pre compiled versions of apps from the AUR. It doesn’t have all the AUR packages but it has a bunch.

    You can check by looking for [chaotic- aur] in your /etc/pacman.conf file.

    grep "\[chaotic-aur]" /etc/pacman.conf

    If enabled pacman will handle those packages without the need for an aur helper like yay.

    These tools look like they are in great shape for their age. The skill saw might even still have the blade that came with the set. None of the tools look really beat up like my tools get.

    Like the other commenter said you can get adapters for the batteries.

    None of these tools are brushless, that would be a concern of mine if the tools looked all beat up. When/if you go to buy them put a battery in them all and make sure they work. Listen for grinding noise that really should not be there.

    Bring a speed square and check how square the skill saw is. First remove the battery and put the blade depth as low as it can go. The guard should be close to the handle and as much blade showing as possible. Then adjust your angle to zero. There should be a knob at the front with a rainbow shaped angle indicator. Then rest the speed square on the guard and press the other end of the triangle to the blade. It should be pretty square. They aren’t perfectly square a lot of the time from the factory at least my old set wasnt. You just don’t want a huge gap at the top or bottom. 1/16 out at max id say as long as that is acceptable to your standards, your likely not framing a house with it. On my old saw I could force it square. If it is way out the saw might have taken a big drop.

    Over all this looks like a good buy imo. My old set was around 500$. You can always back out if you get a sketchy vibe from the seller.
