It’ll be compatible with 5 Gbps devices, but if you’re intentionally looking to restrict even 10 Gbps devices down to 5 Gbps for some reason, you might be able to find something in your BIOS that lets you do that, or you can get a USB 3.0 extension cable that’ll limit your speeds to 5 Gbps.

I moved to Pop!_OS entirely when I built my new system earlier this year (had already been using it on my non-gaming laptop for several years) and relegated Windows to an external SSD that has been essentially collecting dust — I think I’ve used it three or four times.

My experience isn’t the same as everyone’s, but I’m not in love with most multiplayer games, my work uses software that can be run within Wine/Bottles or a browser, and my preferred creative outlet is writing, which could also be done in a browser if I wasn’t such a picky bitch (I am, but Scrivener barely needs massaging to work under Wine and can even be made to look native thanks to using Qt).

Damn, this is a shame. Penny’s Big Breakaway has been the most fun I’ve had on a game for a while, but I kind of expected it wasn’t going to be a huge success for people who hadn’t been following the Evening Star team for years with a new and unproven IP and a rather unique gameplay style among platformers.

Same energy as “Sappho and her friend”

I think their joke was that Thinkpad Arch users (at least online) have a strong correlation with trans women

I like Carrot, but primarily because I like the cheeky quips. That said, it is extremely full-featured and if you pay for a premium version you get a ton of additional features. If you turn off the cheeky quips it really feels like what Dark Sky would’ve become had Apple not killed it.

Ok look I’m not a huge Arch fan either (it’s great for learning the ins and outs of Linux but I’ve gotten to the point that stability is more important than anything to me) but the wiki is the most thorough Linux documentation you can get anywhere. It always, always has the answer, even if you don’t use Arch, lol.

Is it a Core i7 or a Core 2 series processor? 2007 would suggest the latter, and I would absolutely argue for either that you really should prefer something with Xfce or a similar lightweight desktop (maybe Cinnamon or MATE).

I’d probably recommend Linux Mint as a lightweight user-friendly distro, and I’d suggest any of the three available variants based on what you like the most aesthetically.

Additionally, if you haven’t opened them up for a while, pick up an inexpensive SSD for both of them if they don’t have them already. Modern OSes really expect an SSD over a spinning disk as the boot drive.

It’s exactly as most people describe: Arch with a Calamares installer, for all the good and bad that entails. I’ve never been sold on Arch for daily driver use since stability and simplicity is paramount to me, so I tend to use Fedora as a relatively up-to-date distro that I can generally trust not to totally break.

However, if you really want to jump in both feet first into troubleshooting and learning Linux, Arch and EndeavourOS are fantastic. Neither holds your hand too much out of the box but they also have an excellent and helpful community and documentation if you run into trouble or don’t know how to do something. Just… you have to be willing to deal with that kinda stuff, and not everyone is (I’m certainly not).

“Abraham Linksys” was a pretty good one I found.

Thinness is not necessarily something that’s super important to most people.

Also, even if it was, my LG V20 is basically the same thickness as my iPhone 13. I say “basically” because the phone with a replaceable battery is actually slightly thinner in this comparison.

Windows 10 Pro, and not even slightly ashamed to admit it. Though my PC is ancient by Microsoft standards and is also has the ideal specs for a low-end Linux gaming machine (Ryzen 7 1700 + AMD RX 580) so once Windows 10 is out of support I’ll probably switch it to Pop!_OS or Manjaro since I’ve had excellent luck with those elsewhere.

I believe he’s Steven Crowder, not Aaron, just a quick heads up.
