I will add onto this, that you don't need to be a programmer or understand how everything works to use the terminal. At first, it's fine to copy the commands directly into the terminal without really knowing how it all works.

I would very highly suggest to be careful about doing this blindly, you can and will compromise or Bork your system doing this too haphazardly. But it's fine to learn it piece by piece, looking at what commands do as you go to use them. Treat every command you copy paste into the terminal the same way you would treat a .exe file you download from the internet on Windows.

As you use the terminal more frequently, you'll being to recognize different commands and what they do. You'll even start figuring out shortcuts or variations of commands and variables that align more with how you use the computer and what you're hoping the output to give you.

Linux Mint is a great place to play with this, because most everything has a GUI counterpart so you can see the difference between doing the same task with a GUI vs using the terminal. It is also able to live-boot from a USB, as others have pointed out, so you don't need to worry about ruining your primary computer experience. I'd suggest trying this out before you build your new computer, just to see what it's like.

Supergiant Games, they made Hades and Hades 2, Pyre, Bastion, and Transistor

I'd very much like to know why you think it isn't horror? I can understand why you attribute mystery/suspense to it, but that doesn't preclude it being horror. What are examples of movies you do consider horror?

Ah, fair! For me, the switching between music and oration would be a bigger distraction than one or the other on their own.

Genuine question, why not try different podcasts? There are a variety of subjects, and plenty that are current events/news related for niche communities. That doesn't mix music between episodes, but let's you find discussions on topics you're interested in.

Though, it does help to make a good faith effort to add content you'd like to see more of

Eventually, it will. Because even with janky responses like that one, corporations will try to cost save everywhere they can. Is AI at the point where it will happen this year? Hell no! But don't think it isn't the direction they are trying to take it.

Yeah, it's at most a 10% decrease, but didn't want to mislead on it.

Processor may be a limiting factor going forward, as well as PCIE Gen 3 slot on motherboard, but you should still be able to get the majority of performance put of most GPUs. Look for Radeon 6600 or 6600 XT in your local market, or if you can find an RTX 2070 for a good price.

Going newer, a 4060 would also be a good choice, and DLS3 would be a good feature in your build, but that's pushing a little past your budget unless you find a good sale or used one.

A 2008 machine and a 1996 machine are going to be drastically different in capability. Even the 2008 machine will be reaching certain limitations depending on what you want to use it for, and what the specific machine is.

More power to you for trying to recycle and refurbish older tech, I think that is a very positive thing! But I don't think replacement parts will magically become available if they aren't already, only currently available parts might become more affordable or available to the public. What I'm saying is, don't expect an LGA 1151 motherboard to come into production again.
