This… also, use your motherboards QVL when selecting your new kit.

Short answer because I’m drunk but I have to admit I’m somewhat older so I play a lot of indie titles. And one of the few triple A games that I play (BF5) forces me to boot into Windows but that is a fraction of what I play.
I use Discord, Steam and Firefox mainly and don’t do much productivity wise so probably a biased experience.
My 6750XT was automatically installed and had no work from it whatsoever.
Just switched after seeing how much of my Steam library I could play on my Deck. Just have to switch back for BF5 sometimes and I don’t miss Windows at all. Very nice experience.
As a European I’m so gratefull people didn’t “go for talks” on that day they stormed the beaches… sometimes you have to actually fight for your ideals and not water them down every time they are opposed…
Are the issues only with your home router / accesspoint? If the need is high you could always get a seperate accesspoint and hope that works.
Even borkier would be buying a USB-C network adapter or the dock for troubleshooting but that would get you online.
He looks like the neighbour from that 70’s show to me…
A simple PC, you can also use it to browse, download stuff, Steam stream etc. The possibilities are endless
So you think that what you have described above is something all Windows 10 users deal with?
For all it’s shortcomings this sounds more of something on your end and also something quirky that you will any OS really…
In this context an unsupported cpu would be an i7 7700K for example. Hardly e-waste and can perform quite well…
Calling it very flaky is somewhat strong but there are a lot of cases (or at least people repeating it) of people not getting 4 sticks stable on overclock profiles. I don’t know any numbers ofcourse but if you have the luxury to plan ahead and go for 2x16 you won’t risk it.
Some reading: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1469735-4-sticks-of-ram-zen4/ (not only talks about zen4)
AMD and more than two sticks of ram is very flaky…
Cracking encryption gets easier over time. This is a timebomb.
Kinda disagree here, my parents also won’t install Windows or any other OS by themselves. An average person isn’t going to switch to an alternate OS. Because they do not care.
An average person however IS going to want that specific Windows only mail client, legacy applications that don’t run on Linux or use their bank website that isn’t supported by Linux.
This is a one way ticket to making yourself the sole family sysadmin.
If you run Windows, that CPU is not oficially supported by Windows 11 and might be something to keep in mind.
Then again, rebuying all your games and paying way too much for them is something to take into account. But admittedly, the PS5’s thing where you can play some PS4 games is pretty neat.
Can you name them for me because I can’t seem to find them for sale in Europe. Apart from Axis.
It’s very carefully being shoved in by touching the waters and seeing how far they can go. The first few times there is outrage but after a while people get tired, miss that it is happening or simply don’t understand what it’s about. The changes aren’t that big but as a whole work towards something nobody wants. Same as with a lot of laws and / or social changes.
