Thank you :) I tried to be reasonable with it, it’s all too easy to break the bank haha. I have two “system” ssds that replicates itself with a weekly rsync job, and the larger storage SSD has an even larger SATA HDD it syncs to. Good looking out!

Motherboards are tough to recommend because it really depends what you need from your system. My approach was to choose a CPU first then I could start looking at boards supporting the socket. I wanted ATX, nothing smaller. Memory support, just DDR5 and room to expand (it turns out most boards will handle like 192GB these days lol). I wanted the ability to change CPU frequency, that eliminated boards with a B-series chipsets. Next SSD support (at least 3x m.2) and USB ports (minimum 6x USB 3.0). Finally price, I didn’t want to exceed $250.
When all that was dialed in, I was left with like 8 options, from there it was manageable to read reviews for the nuance between them.
New components:
This works great for my needs, but there are some compromises that others may not find acceptable. The mobo is kind of budget level and only has a single 16x pcie slot. The CPU doesn’t include onboard graphics. The radiator is 280mm, as that was what would fit in my case. There’s no RGB except the cooler.
The current pop_os dark is already pretty damn good, it’s a very refined theme
Deadjournal was (is?) such an excellent niche corner of the internet. I remember being young and having trouble connecting the site, totally my fault, but I sent them an email and the admins Cryo and SCSi personally helped me get it figured out. In hindsight I couldn’t imagine another platform taking the time.

Harris, Newsom, Whitmer, Pritzker, and Shapiro are the most common potential replacements I’ve seen floated.
Well, if Garuda’s installer does what it’s supposed to do and assigns your boot drive by UUID, it really shouldn’t matter. I still think swapping before install and having the system in the planned final configuration minimizes the risk of failure.
Some background: There was a time in history where boot devices were defined by their physical port location, so if you reordered or moved drives, it was up to the user to update the boot config to align it to the new location. If the user didn’t know to do that step, the computer would fail to boot. Modern linux distros should use the drive’s unique hardware identifier to find the device, wherever it’s plugged in.
Yeah I debated mentioning it because fully agree - UUID should cover it. But idk what bootloader Garuda uses or how it configures it, and I have no experience going from an external USB-C enclosure to internal drive, is it really seamless?
I just trying to advise on the side of cautiousness.
I wouldn’t recommend swapping afterwards, moving devices around is a good way to confuse a bootloader and run into problems.
I think you should create your installation medium, remove the Windows SSD from laptop, install your new one, then install Linux.
You won’t need anything special to transfer files, but keep in mind windows 11 uses bitlocker by default, you’ll probably want to disable that while windows SSD is still in the laptop, otherwise that drive will remain encrypted and inaccessible by Linux.
Good luck!
There are system dialogs that have unused space for ads, still plenty to improve!
In all seriousness, cloud (azure) and office subscriptions blew up and account for like 70% of MS profits. They know the Windows experience is lacking, but when they already capture so much of the market and it’s such a small slice of revenue, they have no incentive to improve.
The combined forces of microsoft reaching new heights of greed and intrusion, plus the massive dev efforts for the best ever GNU Linux and Proton 📈📈📈
I hate that book. It’s a great read. Horrifying, inspiring and becoming more important by the day.
He did take down Lau in the dark knight tho.
I read too fast you said found the receiver, haha. Yep, supported! Hopefully plug and play 🤞
Arch wiki says
Both the wired and wireless (with the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows) controllers are supported by the xpad kernel module and should work without additional packages.
I guess my question is, have you tried plugging in the receiver? You’ll need the receiver for it to work, they are 2.4Ghz not BT
Everyone should just vote for the water shaman, I don’t understand why American politics needs to be so complex!
