Programming on DSL

So I’ve been looking into a portable way to do lisp programming. I have a old windows 8 table that I believe either has a atom processor or something really basic. It was never powerful enough to run windows but Linux??

Being looking into damn small Linux and was wondering if anyone has any experience using this OS for programming?

Using Mint/Libre for job apps, or other stuff for noobs

I used Ubuntu in the past, enjoyed it a lot except I found difficulty with using open office when applying for jobs because when going back to Windows /office it didn't seem to format correctly and looked quite bad. Open office was what it pre installed at the time but this was about 8 years ago I think?

Anyway now I'm using Mint and see that it has Libre, so how well would writing a resume with proper formatting and other such professional purposes be seen by various employers, presumably using Windows and MS Office predominately?

Also, any other recommendations for smooth operations? I'm quite novice but enjoying branching out.

Headset - Desktop Music Player Powered by YouTube And Reddit

Used this music player for a while now. HIGHLY recommended. It's Free, no ads and has LastFM scrobble. My favorite thing about it by far is the Reddit integration.

Is it better to use linux for web development?

Apologies if this is a wrong subreddit to ask but I've been thinking if I should use linux as my primary OS to develop websites or just stick to my Windows installation. Windows is currently usable but slow and barely handle multiple tasks. It takes several minutes to run nodejs apps and composer is incredibly slow. I've used linux before and the experience was great. But I use windows to do school related stuff and switching OS is a hassle for me. So is it better for me to use linux or just stick with windows?

Would you pay to have a feature implemented or a bug fixed?

The question is in the noscript.

Whether it's $5 or $5000 depends on you, but I'm trying to find out if you'd be willing to pay at all. Any project.
