Final Final Project

Dang.

Pop is nice when it works correctly, but I usually have fewer issues with Kubuntu. If you're still not able to get it going, I'd recommend going the Kubuntu route for a potentially easier time.

I've ran into this issue myself in the past, too. BIOS updates and disabling Secure Boot have been the primary things that have fixed it for me when I run into them.

If I'm honest, video games and computers in general. The community has some to do with it, I guess, but more because the people making them just seem to not care about the customers at all anymore.

If I had to put my feeling into words, its that they try to make things at the smallest possible cost with the highest return possible, including throwing ads into everything (making for a poorer experience for the users), while simultaneously making everything bland so they can appeal to everyone.

Ten years ago, I loved video games, and now the only "next-gen" console I have is a Switch and a Steam Deck. I used to be a huge Windows fan, but now I can hardly stomach Windows 11, and run Linux exclusively as much as possible.

Big tech ruined tech. Big video games ruined video games.

Because all the cool people are too busy homebrewing tabletop RPGs instead.

Phones are generally seen as more secure because they're less likely to have malware and the apps should be running in their own sandbox, meaning it's more difficult to see what each app is doing and so theoretically it's more secure.

Most desktop operating systems do not have sandboxing in place, have known malware that could be installed much easier than on a phone, and harder to verify that the system is secure. This is doubly so taking into account that basically the only way to use the banking information is through a web browser, which could have any number of junky web extensions installed.

While things are incrementally changing on the desktop front (mostly on Linux with Atomic distros, Flatpak/Snap, and Firefox container tabs), most banks are only familiar with Windows and macos, and since those two have the most security risks, they'd rather play it safe with the relatively more standardized, theoretically more secure phone OS.

You definitely want a mid size case if you're going to move it around. I got a full size with my first build and while it is nice and roomy, it's never fun to move when needed.

The case you have in your list has your 2.5" SSD storage in the back and PSU under an aluminum bar at the bottom. Everything else will mostly likely be easily accessible, but if you ever need to do PSU/SSD changes, it won't be as easy as everything else.

Otherwise, I really like Corsair cases, they've never done me wrong.

It's a hard sell to try to get people to seed Terabytes of data. Might be easier to find people to seed if the collections were split up to make them a few hundred Gigabytes.

As a kid I didn't understand hermits.

Now that I'm an adult, I'm jealous

I think my favorite comment from that thread was "It's perfect for organizing people's /tmp folder" from outofpaper
