Daily reminder to 1 - backup your shit and 2 - REPLACE YOUR FUCKING SATA CABLES

I am so mad I can heat my home on anger alone. I spent the last 2 weeks re-installing the OS, software, drivers, running hardware checks on everything I could and whatever other "fixes" I could come up with. What was the reason the constant freezing/BSOD/hanging? - A FUCKING SATA CABLE for the OS HDD.

Don't be a retard like me.

It actually does matter, retard. There are 3 generations of SATA cables that exist. Cheaper cables are also rarely built to specification. Sure, they’ll socket into the SATA port, but they won’t reach true SATA III speeds. Never cheap out on data cables.

I've never trusted linux, always saw the downsides and problems compared to the experience on windows...
now there's friction on the experience on windows ... ALOT of it

so im willing to make try linux but i dont know where to start.

i do have some things i am looking for

1 : user friendly / gui (least amount of console as possible), i can deal with some console stuff but would like to keep it to a minimum.

2 : art uses, i make videos / draw / make 3d models with blender / stream with obs and make games with unity and goddot, hopefully all of these work, especially my drawing tablet from2012

3: game servers, on my spare time i play and host games on the machine, its convinient that it can both be the server and run the game like i do on windows for tf2, ragnarok, minecraft, factorio, risk of rain , ect

4 : security, as mentioned, i work on my own games and also stream from time to time, and i know the nightmare that it is for people who stream to deal with swatting and ddos and hacked accounts, i already know the basic of security (dont click unknown stuff, down download things you dont know, dont run new things on the machine without virtual machine, ect), but some extra level of privacy so i can work on my games and not have it leak before the release date would be nice

Start with Mint and if you find it lacking then you can start searching elsewhere. Forget everything you know about Windows, it won't be helpful on Linux. You'll be learning to use a computer from the ground up. Either be willing to learn or stay on Windows.

You asked why there's no market for DOS, linux is why.
Yes, most people rather have GUI applications, but the people that want something that is just a terminal will go to linux or some other minimal OS.
Also most server computers don't have a GUI, that would be a usecase for DOS that linux took, this chart you posted doesn't consider it, only personal use.

Strictly speaking PCs here
Microslop has been destroying Windows for years
Copilot is invasive dystopian software, Windows has the fucking audacity to show you ads
Linux is still Linux, will always remain a geek niche
PC hardware prices are a complete shitfest and at the mercy of one if not the biggest AI-slop speculators in the world, NVIDIA
Windows Laptops, the biggest % install base of PC users, are still shit on battery and massively overpriced at a premium that's not reflected on their build quality and performance
Gaming is worse than ever, the market is saturated by post-woke slop and garbage releases, only 3-4 good games per year at this point
Most PC gaming is done through Steam, SteamOS is not Windows dependant, handheld market growing, eventually an important % of gamers will just rely on Steam Decks or Linux/Steam gaming boxes

Truth is, by doing absolutely nothing after releasing a generational product 5 years ago, Apple now has the best PC hardware in the market, and hasn't even doubled prices "for market reasons" like all the other tech companies during the last year. You go into the store today and pay the same price you paid for the same relative product 5 years ago ($2000 for the base model current M Pro chip Macbook Pro). Mac Minis and Studios are even more insane, but I digress here.

Can somebody here argue honestly with me if I'm totally wrong here? If you aren't addicted to gaming is there even a reason to stay with Windows machines nowadays?

a modern AMD threadripper can easily pull more than 200W if it was allowed to go full throttle on all cores.

Also the idea that these are "Desktop" chips is funny. No way in hell is Intel going to release a 52c chip for the desktop market. It'll be reclassed back in some workstation market and cost will match the retards who buy it.

>>108112108
I noticed that somewhat, everytime I tried generating classical or orchestrated pieces I noticed lots of electronic synth contamination and modern style production

It can do other things if you mess around with it though, it's pretty convincing with funky jazz slop and acoustic guitar pieces and some other stuff
