I switched to Linux myself but can we please stop lying about Linux being a drop-in replacement? There is enough sofware that does not work.

That still won’t say anything about the reliability of the medium. The update itself isn’t the problem.

Depends. If you need updates on the software used in the air gapped network you won’t have lot of options. Burning cd’s doesn’t sound so crazy all of a sudden though…

I mean, it’s very easy money given you already have a channel and a name dor youself. What would YT have to pay creators to not care about such easy money?

As a YT Premium subscriber I really don’t mind the sponsor sections. Money goes to the creator and a few taps and I’m back to watching. Also, I think outright banning sponsor segments is going to make creators more creative in a bad way…

I might just be tired but I’m having a hard time understanding what you’re asking.

While I hate the videofication of everything as much as the next person. Looking at a regular website these days is even worse than YouTube with ads… Cookies bro? You want to subscribe? Can we send you browser messages?? Here are 10 ads that move the text around that you were just reading…

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.

Remote?

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.

This. Files uploaded locally should automatically be synced though.

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.

AMD and more than two sticks of ram is very flaky…

Cracking encryption gets easier over time. This is a timebomb.
