Well if you want anything over 35 inches a TV is your only option. They don’t really make monitors bigger than that.

Also usually cheaper components.

ITX boards tend to cost more than bigger boards, you’re limited to one slot, and usually the cases are super limited in size for heatsinks or other stuff.

Probably on older hard drives like that hardware raid won’t slow things down too much. But holy shit do hardware raid controllers suck with faster HDDs/SSDs. Also they obscure smart info from your OS so you need special software to talk to the raid controller to know if your drives are failing.

Otherwise they’re fine. If that’s what ya got that’s what ya got. Rung what ya brung.

It’d be really funny if the AI bubble popped before they fully shut down Crucial.

Really?!? The company that LTT has invested in might also support some problematic people?

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. There’s better distros out there.

Especially when you have no interest in gaming.

I’m not us gaming though I do dev work and what have you

Bazzite isn’t really for you. Bazzite is a gaming 1st distro. You probably want a more normal general use distro.

You can only “roll back” to 10 if you just upgraded from 10 to 11. If you bought something new then you can’t “roll back” to something that was never there.

Also if it’s a newer laptop expect a lot of things to be broken or work poorly. A lot of new hardware has come out post Windows 11.

I have the startech usb kvm. It’s expensive new, but used it can be pretty cheap.

Just because you can type that fast doesn’t mean you should.

Do you even care about the things you’re posting?

12th gen Intel is the last to support OG standby. 13th gen and up are S0 standby only. AMD gave up on S1-3 standby even earlier.

ThinkPads with 12 gen CPUs support the good standby if you want a nice machine with it.

If it’s a prebuilt and it’s the SSD that’s the problem then taking out the SSD probably won’t be an option. OP never said what PC it is, but I know some manufacturers will be ok with shipping just the ssd. Assuming you can narrow it down to just the SSD.

IDK OP, just contact their support and see what they say to diagnose it. Just wipe the drive before you send it off. They’re not going to do data recovery on your SSD just to decline the warranty, it’s not worth their time or money. They’re just going to replace it.

Most antenna towers aren’t saucer shaped.

They just reused an existing building which happened to fit a fuck ton of antennas on it nicely. Most tall buildings will have some sort of antennas on them.

There’s no reason why Linux would be immune to this. If anything you’re probably not running any AV on Linux so if you did get infected you’d probably never notice until it starts being a pain.

I have a newer clara color which is similar and I have no issues with it. 300 ppi in black and white content is better than most laptops.

I’m not sure how you plan on reading in the dark if the backlight is off. But with my Clara the battery life is so long I legitimately can’t tell how the backlight affects battery.

eBay, FB marketplace, any other equivalent sell old junk site.

No, not really. Business stopped using machines not capable of running windows 11 almost 5 years ago. The end user who cares about it being EOL will install Linux. And the average user who doesn’t even know what EOL means won’t care.

Assembled in Mexico?

Desktop? Ctrl click the languages to select multiple.

Interesting that it maintains compatibility both ways. Other companies have done stuff like this in the past. I know Apple GPUs that had ADC had an extra pin further down from the connector. But that extra foot could get in the way of components.

Absolute innovation. Nobody has ever done something like this before.
