I have lots of computes... mostly XP era with modest upgrades and Linux installed.

I have three 'main' computers. My daily driver - this one - a ten year old with a number of upgrades. Behind me in the same room is my media computer where I do most of my You Tube work: music composition and video editing. The third sits in my bedroom where I do the voice overs for the channel and do some music puttering around.

In the past when I've brought my work laptop home and remoted into work, the laptop 'shared' the desk as my media computer. This was fine since I'm not on the media system every day and I could wait to do any video work.

However, my work laptop has been living on the media desk for over a month now and I have to move things around to do any video work. At this point I'll probably move the media system into my bedroom and mothball the other system. The media system will work just fine for audio work.

Since there's no real end in sight to COVID-19 without a vaccine, the new normal seems to be my work computer has taken root in the computer room.

This annoys me.

At least my main system is powerful enough to do most my regular stuff and still run Folding At Home without issue.

Fold my pretty proteins! Fold!
