Also trying to avoid this setup

This is really cool! How much did it cost you to get the board fully assembled? And how’s the layout? As ergonomic as you hoped?

Tried out Mint, Debian w/ KDE, switched to Debian w/ gnome, now settled into Cachy OS. Only thing I’m wanting for is support for my Dell Canvas touch and totem, but I expect that’ll get pushed to Open Tablet Drivers before long

This is what it comes down to. Nearly every office job pays for the Microsoft enterprise suite and office 365 subscriptions, before tacking on third party tools for monitoring and info. sec. for IT. I would gladly ditch Office 365 for Open Office and Debian, assuming all the higher ups would be willing to take such drastic measures to reduce expenses. I think most employees would balk at learning “an entire new system” regardless of how minor the differences actually are at this point.

I’ll give 'em this: Microsoft’s model creates very sticky revenue with high switching costs.

Agreed. More and more TVs support 4K 120fps every year and monitors keep getting higher fps / more pixel dense at current >120fps, pushing the market towards the flagship cards that are just insanely expensive at > $1K USD

It’s a problem already, right now. Prices are already ridiculous and I’m sure the Nvidia 5000 series will be even more so before AMDs 8000 series add fuel to the fire in an effort to retain their fledgling market share.

It’s the main reason I haven’t upgraded yet: I just don’t want to drop ~$1K USD on another GPU that can handle 4K 120fps displays

Oh golden sun was such a gem. My parents bought it used for cheap and I had such low expectations - spent so many hours playing through the storyline as a kid it has to be the best playtime/$ investment in my lifetime so far.

Definitely going to go hunt down Golden Sun 2 now

This is where I’m at; upper management has already greenlit moving all data to a OneLake Data Hub so the rank and file can try power bi instead of excel for everything. Suggesting moving away from their ecosystem at this point is moot

Any iOS Amp users that can recommend Amp? Seems like there’ll be either a huge number of streams or almost none
