I've got a Clevo laptop that covers most of your list. Mine's a bit older, a 7th gen i5, but was very cheap, and easy to upgrade. If the newer models are built the same way, it's what I'm going to go for when I eventually upgrade 👍

Uncle Benned, or Obi Wan Kenobi Benned? 🤔
I don't know, you can get Photoshop and Lightroom for £10 a month, which is very cheap when you compare it to a night out or a takeaway, and at the moment, they're better than the equivalents.
I do need to have another look at DaVinci Resolve though. I've heard loads of good things about it, but it was overkill for what I needed when I last tried it :)
I can't decide if that would be too sweet with the apple sauce base. That might have to be an experiment :)
That's a good point. I haven't cooked anything with apple that could go soggy for years, so I hadn't thought of that. Pulled pork and apple pizza is sounding nice though :)
Why is apple a bad idea? Apple with pork and cheese is delicious :)
Thanks for replying :)
I managed to get it working with the answers from @Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me and this link:

I must have been testing it when you answered :)
I've got them up and running, and working for both users, thank you :)
That's brilliant, thank you :)
Usually
/mnt/whatever
for static mounts and/media/whatever
for removable mounts (those appear as drives in file managers, whereas /mnt doesn't).
Just to check, if I mount the drives under /media, will that still treat them as removable, or will they appear as permanent drives?
Ext4 everywhere.
Linux is obviously very good, but you are right, we give Linux a pass sometimes because we 'build' it. We tend to overlook its flaws because we want it to be better than the competition.
I've recently had an upgrade fail to the point of a reinstall, a folder that I can't share between two users on the same laptop, and shutdown buttons on two computers that disappeared. If those problems happened on Windows, I'd be really annoyed, but because they happened on Linux, I just fixed them and carried on.
Mine is a Stone branded Clevo, a Stonebook Pro p11b, but as you say, there are others out there. I bought mine refurbished for about £150 and upgraded the SSD and RAM.
