In our case, my partner's desktop had broken down completely (they later ended up with parts from my ex's computer that they could use to fix the issues) a while ago, and they had to use a very old laptop as well. I'm a really avid gamer and I'm learning to code, plus I stream for my partner everything from videos, to movies, to video games. Plus we play together. So I feel you!
Currently the remaining parts will be here Friday and then I have to figure out how to put them in. I didn't build my current desktop and have only done small things in it so far. There's also wiping things clean for the dual boot, and to help ensure the issues hopefully clear up on the software end. I did at least enjoy learning about different Linux distros.
Thank you for this message! It made me feel a bit better.
thank you so much!! did you build a pc for just everyday use or are you a gamer as well? and thank you for the tips! I have everything now and I'm just waiting for my partner to not be busy so that hopefully today I can video call them and we'll do it together. they've been working on computers since they were 14, so, they'll be a lot of help! I'm replacing the motherboard, ram, cpu, and cpu cooler (and a fan hub but that's less important) so I have to strip everything out and start over, hahaha.
always nice seeing you around!
