That's your choice to exclusively use Linux on your system, but telling others what they must give up to conform to what Linux can do is pushing cult mentality. You are only providing proof why people should always avoid Linux at all cost. To prove my point, you should try to get a job in IT maintaining network systems or service support for a company helping random customers and see how far you get.

Windows in a VM nainly only works in a server setup. Nit exclusively a server, but mainly only in servers. On desktop, Windows in a VM is either pointless, as in overkill, or problematic.

I use BSD, Linux, but all gaming is exclusively on Windows. Linux is not 109% compatible with all PC hardware, like soft EQ, DAC, or mixer setup for $500 of audio hardware not ncluding speakers, not all games in existance of the past 30 years have a Linux verson available or come ffom alaunxher or store, so all gaming is always exclusively on Windows.

People only push Linux for gaming out of ideology, not a solution. Using a translation layer or emulation means incompatibility, not a solution. Gaming on Linux because hate Windows, is not a solution. Mental paranoia over telemetry does not make Linux a solution.

Why do people not use Win 11 LTSC so nothing is installed besides barebones Windows functionality? It does not come with Microsoft Store or Media Player

Do you know, because I don't, if 5090 with 3 8-pin connections would be 100% stable?

You can walk to grocery store and pay with monero? I can't find a way to buy monero without a credit card.

My point being, as long as there is never any way to buy groceries with crypto, it will never be greatly valuable. It won't be worthess, people will want it, but crypto will never grow into anything.

Because if that, not as many online services will every accept crypto because they don't want to pay to exchange it. But if crypto became another form of payment for retail, then a lot more online stores and services will also accept crypto instead of being responsible for taking card information.

Use a live Linux CD/USB but do not install it and wipe the drive with command "shred -uzv /dev/sda" or whichever the drive is. Use partition manager to check the label for the drive to securely wipe it.

I bought crypto and still own it, but over time I have come to the opinion that until stores and malls accept crypto, they will never grow betond being a commodity like gold. This is the highest price I've ever seen gold. That has me concerned of how volatile people's finances are. The cost of living was a huge amount cheaper when gold was 65 to 70% cheaper than now.

If bitcoin ever hits $400,000, I see implosion and collapse being imminent. Crypto will never be worthlesss, at least crypto that casual observers have heard of before, but there's no huge profit to be made from it without engaging in financial criminal activity.

So if you want to get into crypto, do definitely protect your identity at all cost before purchasing whichever currency, but also know for what principal you got it to it. If it is to get wealthy, you wasted your money. If it's to hold on to something of value that you can trade for if economy falls off, then that could prove to be a wise decision in the future.

There's more I could say, this might already be blah blah blah, but I hope that you understand my overall premise. I genuinelly don't now why individual stores don't accept crypto and then sell it almost in real time. If crypto stablized, a few people would take their pay in crypto instead of bank deposit, and just that would take money away from the elite global class if staff got paid in crypto to do their shopping.

It would be good for them to release a Panther Lake version of the i3 14100 as successor. I could make use of that as a spare/secondary computer.

My first priority is picture quality. Play on max/ultra everything but disable upscaling
