Be careful, as always, but Italy isn't an especially dangerous place. Some regions have higher crime rates than others, but even then, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I must say, however, I don't see that need for desktops. Custom desktops are relatively easy to build, even for customers.
A well designed linux laptop, with no driver issues, good build quality, that doesn't sacrifice performance for thinness? That's what I'm missing.
I'm just an hobbyist, but I like having FOSS alternatives to Photoshop.
Do successful projects receive more positive comments?
Those are my heroes, small and big.
Personally I'd really like to see more powerful GPUs in MacBooks...
Personally I tend to think of depression as draining; it takes out your energy, your willingness to live your life and push through. Like you said, emptiness.
Sadness feels... sad, it brings you down, but it doesn't necessarily affect you in the same 'draining' way.
Compare that to the relative simplicity of having your music, books, etc. as a plain file, and you can see where the problem is: paying gets you less, rarely more.
