Lots of good answers already. I think one of the biggest factors is to not be the kind of person that succumbs to choice paralysis. There are always going to be a multitude of options for every problem. Learning to live with the idea that the best solution to a problem is not the only acceptable solution will go a long way to keep from getting frustrated in linux.

I read the article but I'm still confused as to why anyone would want to smuggle ants.

AI is a different beast altogether, maybe I missed that use case in this or your previous post. From what I've read, rocm support for the 9070 cards is still being worked on.

Edit: Just learned to stay away from the keyboard until after coffee. Also, GPU pricing is horrible all around.

Why the 7900XT and not a 9070 or 9070XT? Stock issue? Both are overkill for 1080p gaming but if you're trying to future proof, wouldn't the newer card with FSR4 be the better option?

I've been using the startech bt usb adapter in linux for a couple of years without issues.

Is there any data showing the real world effects of high speed (>60W) charging compared to the normal Samsung/Google approach after multiple years?

I've always limited my charges to 80% but I've heard the argument that phones that charge quickly stay warm for a shorter period of time which lessens the potential negative impact of that kind of charging.

When I bought my B650 Lightning, Wendell from Level1Techs recommendations over the years played a big part. I haven't found a single thing to complain about.

"Mindfactory's sales information in repeated articles over several years, and its Ryzen 7 5800X, 5600X, and 5900X RMA rates are 0.58 percent, 0.52 percent, and 0.33 percent, respectively."

Based on some very rough estimates using mindfactory and amazon sales data, the 9800x3d is in line with or below 5000 series RMA rates.

If there was real cause for concern, the RMA rate should be much higher.

I've given up after years of looking for a solution. I just use https://www.livesportsontv.com/ these days.

It's not for me either but I see the 90 class halo products like those fancy home racing setups. It's for enthusiasts with money.

But screw Nvidia for renaming what are supposed to be 60 tier cards based on % improvement from previous generation into the 70 tier (same for their whole stack). I don't really blame them for prices since they wouldn't be this high if the demand wasn't there.

None of your listed use cases will even come close to taxing the 6600k. It's going to probably sit happily in idle states most of the time.

Proxmox also has great snapshotting and backup features. Makes it easier to mess around with your containers/VMs without worrying too much.

Agreed. The recent Canadaland episode highlights this pretty well. I don't know how out of context the audio snippets of Carney's answers about his blind trusts are but he needs to do better and not just better than PP.
