Actually it will be 1 UK, which is not a measure of size unfortunately.

Typical English attitude. "One football field" is a unit of size; "The size of Wales" also. But never "1 UK" ...

You guys have a klingon national anthem ?

I once was a college student, and I did exactly none of these things on my computer back then.
But then, I studied programming, not farting around with picture- and video-editing software.

I'd rather hang out here than on some Photoshop user forum.

I always find it slightly amusing that a lot of the mac hardware reviews always talk about how fast they can do video editing.
I think we need to setup a review section where we talk about how many browser windows you can have open while cutting and pasting code into Visual Studio Code or xcode while simultaneously building a full solution including deployment packages to the different desktop OSs and 2 mobile platforms, all the time while watching Netflix on the other monitor.
That would make me sit up and listen to the review.

Wow, is this what every college student is doing these days? 
Thinking about college has brought back a flood of fond memories...and it cold and damp outside on this Saturday, so forgive me for being nostalgic.
Back in the late 80's I started CS classes and did well but really hated the fact that all final homework tasks (getting your program to compile and print to green-bar) had to be done in the lab. The lab was often over crowded and getting a terminal that actually worked was a challenge. There was also the unwritten rule that if an upperclassman needed it, you had to give it up...that rule got me kicked out of the lab and therefore the CS program. I quit school and got a factory job.
10 years later, tired of constant overtime and manual labor, I got an opportunity to go back to school. I didn't think twice. My dad set me up with a hand-me-down PowerMac 6100 beige box that the phone company was tossing. OS 7.5.x was absolute garbage which was why my very first computer book was 'Sad Macs Bombs and Other Disasters'! I must have re-installed that OS a dozen or so times. Still, it was quite a learning experience in troubleshooting computer problems
Trying to remember the specs...I think it was a 66MHz PPC, 8MB ram, and a 500MB scsi hdd. (later upgraded to 32) I had MS Office on floppies. (3 dozen or so IIRC) It got me though my first year of college introductory courses, but when I started into programming courses, everything was Windows so I got my first Windows machine around '98. (AMDK2-6 350MHz, 32MB, and 4B hdd) I upgraded every component of that machine (except mobo/cpu) even adding an LS-120 drive. I also got my first version of Visual Studio. To me, this was an awakening and I knew I'd never be the same.
No more labs! I could now write, debug, and even compile my programs from home and at any time I wanted! I could study and learn at my own pace! Now, programming wasn't just about typing code into a terminal, it was now a visual experience! I was hooked! The second go-round with college went much better than the first. I was a much better student at 30 than I was at 20, though probably not as much fun! Anyway, it's been a great 20 year trip since then. Thanks for letting me share.

Don't forget Facebook, Twitter, and whatever the a-social media platform of the day is.

Hi all,
One customer asked me to do a small C# application and wants me to use VS2019... I currently have VS2017 in my computer and I'm using it a lot even integrated into my PLC developing needs.
Will 2019 work gracefully and won't make problems with 2017?
Any consideration before installing it?
Thank you all!

It shouldn't be a problem: Install Visual Studio versions side-by-side - Visual Studio | Microsoft Docs[^] but it may affect file associations as .C#, /SLN, and .PRJ will be set to the last installed version. And it you open a solution / project in 2019 it may give problems when subsequently opened in 2017, though generally that's better these days than it was back in VS2008.
Certainly, I have no problems with 2019, 2013, and 2010 on this PC, though I did uninstall 2015 and 2017 before I added 2019.

Though I've not tried it, it's supposed to work.
Where I've heard problems can occur is not so much the installations, but updates to the earlier installed version. (Also, not applicable for you but in general the higher version needs to be installed before the lower - i.e. 2019 after 2017 is OK, 2015 after 2017 not.)
But consider installing a VM for the other version.
- Sure more initial farting around,
- but there will be no chance of inter-version "effects" and "fun."
- also snapshots, easy clean up and roll back.
- clones, (i.e. a pre-vs clone) - next time around skip the windows [and prefs] install work

I have had the two versions installed alongside one another for a couple of years now with no problems. Initially I used both extensively although now I'm using 2019 almost exclusively.
I installed 2017 first and I support the suggestion of others that it's best to do it in that order.
Be careful about making significant changes to a project/solution in 2019 if you want to open it subsequently in 2017, but normal code editing doesn't cause problems.

I installed 2017 first, thenn 2019. No problems. When I felt 2019 was stable enough, I removed 2017. No problems.
