@troglodytes those XFX cards have really bad thermal throttling tho, the encasing is made of plastic which traps heat

and the heatsink design is pretty mediocre stainless steel and low contact

yeah this is a new variety that may be slightly better

really not looking forward to the win7 retirement
need to upgrade pretty much everything but all the new hardware and OSes seem shite

well, you can get the new amd ryzen.. they're pretty good 🙂

one with 8 cores

Win10 lite is alright

viability of doing linux for dummies for a gaymer PC? I've had a copy of Mint for a while but never actually used it

I don't think you can play any of the bigger games on linux

Win10 is not that bad imo, some stuff is improved from Win 7

only concern in the privacy concern.. but that is what it is 🤷🏻
