Personally, I stay well away from multi-monitor configurations. These days it makes more sense to get a big QLED HDTV or something. I run a 55" at home. use Windows key+Arrow keys to move windows to different quadrants of the display. At 4k you have almost 4000 pixels across. It's plenty of room to run multiple apps side by side. Multimon complicates anydesk sessions, and has an ugly lack of continuity between screens, plus sometimes it just breaks (although that is less common these days unless you're doing something weird like USB to HDMI to get the extra screen(s))
That's me though. I do recommend looking at prices on HDTVs before you decide to go multimon though. I think you'll find the experience of a single, large screen is better.

Good move. My main workstation is a 7 year old 5810, it runs 'nix on NVME in caddy, has 2 spinny-go-rounds in hardware RAID mirror, 2 other (1tb) SSD's for virtual machines. I run 3 or 4 VM's at a time with no degradation, probably handle more. I have a VM running DOS 5.0 in case I need to run Edlin  .
I have another 5810 that is running ESXi, mirroring a clients system that runs 4 Windows VM's, it also has a Windows system with BlueIris connected to security cameras, been running 24/7. I have an ancient, creaking T3600 running TrueNAS for backup, powered off most of the time. I think these systems are bargains on eBay. All 3 have Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650 v3 (6 core), which is decent if not impressive.
W11 runs OK, don't know if it will keep updating (also don't care at this point in time).

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

After reading positive reviews about Zorin OS, an Ubuntu based Linux distro, I decided to try out the Lite version.
See: Zorin OS 16 is exactly what a Linux desktop distribution should be - TechRepublic[^]
Installing on an old laptop from an USB drive went smoothly, even an old NVidia graphics card was detected.
It was quite a surprise that everything went so smoothly considering I don't have any Linux experience.
Also everything a normal user could want is pre-installed, like a browser, an office-suite, some simple games and several handy utilities 
But not being a normal user I went looking for trouble: hey let's install Visual Studio Code and try out .NET Core 6.0 I thought.
Not being used to Visual Studio Code, that did not go very smoothly and especially installing the .NET Core SDK and getting VS Code to work with it was a painful experience.
I ended up spending half a day to get a simple "Hello World" example working 
So for the time being I think I will not continue my coding adventures in VS Code ...

I have Visual Studio Code running on Ubuntu in a VM, and also in WSL. In both cases installation took a few seconds, and I can even start the WSL version direct from the Windows version. "Brilliant" is too small a word to describe such a user friendly product.

Yep, I also have VS Code running on (K)Ubuntu. It installed without a hitch and works absolutely fine. Note. On (K)Ubuntu 21.10 it's installed as a Snap Package - which is probably the simplest and most reliable way to install.. Run "snap list" to check if you have the Snap Package. It's name is "code".
|

|

|

Sadly VS Code could not be found in the package installer and I had to install from the website.
Maybe because Zorin OS Lite is based on an older Ubuntu version 18.04 ?

There are benefits in installing a snap package. It brings in all the dependencies, (i.e. other software that it needs), so it should just work no matter what distribution you are using. On the downside, it will use a little more disk space.
I'm not sure if Zorin comes with snap. The easy way to check is, at the command line, run "snap version". If you don't have it, (and would like to give it a try), it's easy enough to install - and there are plenty of articles explaining how. See link below for instance.
If you do have snap and would like to install the VS Code snap package: first remove your non snap version; then, at the command line, run "sudo snap install code". Note. "code" is the snap package name for VS Code.
I couldn't find any articles about snap on CP, so I'm going to have to point you elsewhere for a simple beginners guide: A Beginners Guide to Snaps in Linux - Part 1[^]
Hope this helps.

and did you also try to install .NET Core 6.0 ?

I haven't even tried .NET Core 1.0 yet.
