The 50 series cards are pretty efficient and don't have the transient spikes issue of the 30 series. You can get away with having a lower wattage PSU that is closer to your actual requirement instead of 40-50% headroom that used to be suggested.

I use Steam only for games purchased from Steam and Heroic for Epic, GOG, etc..

Heroic makes it much easier to manage games. Custom prefixes for each game with winetricks, mangohud checkbox, environment variables and so on. If the interface was better/modern with some sort of tabbed layout, I would use it for my Steam games as well.

I agree with the general sentiment but saying he's had it easy while dealing with the tariff debacle and the ongoing economic fallout and constantly shifting goalposts is debatable.

Personally, I want to see where we are by the time the mid terms roll around.

Remember to also report ssh login attempts and unauthorized wordpress access (even if wordpress isn't installed).

Not sure if that's the reason but it seems like a reasonable explanation.

For anyone that needs a guide. Should work for most providers with some configuration changes.

I was wondering why my custom sync folders weren't syncing anymore.

I primarily use antennapod but tried abs out of curiousity. How did you get around the queue issue? I found it to be a dealbreaker

The monitors unboxed youtube channel does really good in-depth reviews and includes mixed usage. They also have good buying guides at various price points.

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.

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.

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.
